Enter No-Number Part Line, Requisition

Explanation

This activity is used to enter no-number part lines for a purchase requisition.

The purchase requisition is built in two levels consisting of a requisition header and one or more requisition lines. The second step in a new entry is to enter purchase requisition lines.

Requisitions for purchase parts are entered on the Purchase Requisition/Part Requisition Lines tab. Requisitions for parts without part numbers, i.e., no-number parts, are entered on the Purchase Requisition/No Part Requisition Lines tab.

Note that the express purchase requisition, i.e., a purchase requisition having the order code 5 (Express) is not addressed in this activity description.

A purchase requisition for a purchase of parts without part numbers is used for a one-time purchase of a part when it is unnecessary to enter the part in the purchase part record. When buying this type of part, you need to describe the specific conditions and needs for the part. Sometimes, the description turns out to be lengthy. In this case, select the line, right-click and then click Text Processing. (See the corresponding activity description.)

If needed you can also enter the suppliers part number and description of the part, this information will later be passed on if the purchase requisition is converted to a purchase order.

When entering a purchase requisition for a new supplier without a supplier record, it is possible to make a quick registration of the new supplier using an existing supplier as a template. In doing so, the supplier information that is not company-specific is automatically copied from the template supplier to the new supplier, while additional information is entered in the Quick Supplier Registration dialog box.

If the exact price of the part or service is not known, it is possible to enter an estimated price.

Price and tax calculations are controlled by the Use Price Incl Tax check box. The default value of the check box is retrieved from the site specified in the header. The value can be changed before saving, if necessary.

Prerequisites

• The purchase requisition header must have been entered and saved.
• To make a quick registration of a new supplier, there must be a template supplier to use when doing so. The Use as Template check box should be selected for those suppliers that are to be used as templates, either on the Supplier/Purchase/General tab or in the Suppliers window. A description must also be entered for the template of each supplier.
• The technical coordinator, if applicable, must have been entered on the Inventory Basic Data/Technical Coordinators tab.

System Effects

• As a result of this entry, a purchase requisition line with the Planned status will be entered.
