Enter Express Requisition Header

Explanation

The express purchase requisition is used when there is an immediate demand for a purchase order, e.g., when purchasing some urgently needed spare parts from the local hardware store. When order code 5 (Express) is used, purchase orders are immediately created for all lines as soon as the requisition is released. If any of the lines requires authorization, this line will not be converted until it has been fully authorized. The created purchase order is automatically released and printed.

The purchase requisition is built in two levels, consisting of a requisition header and one or several requisition lines. The first step in a new entry is to enter the purchase requisition header.

The requisition number is system-assigned when saving; you cannot manually enter a requisition number.
