Enter Internal Customer

Explanation

Use this activity to create, modify, and view internal customer records. An internal customer is used when you are making material requisitions, to be able to specify the internal source of the demand. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

The internal customer records are used to identify the person or department making a material requisition, or returning unused materials previously issued through a material requisition. Since the internal customer is not connected to your user ID in the system, anyone logged on to the system can use any of the defined internal customers.

Prerequisites

There are no specific prerequisites.

System Effects
