Handle Supply Request
Explanation
Perform this activity to handle a supply request for a project demand.
A supply request can either be a Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order, Shop
Order or a DOP Header. Each supply type is preposted with the Project ID and
activity sequence that has been connected to the project demand. This means that
cost, hours and progress are fed back to the connected project activity
every time an action is executed on the supply request. However, since the supply
request belongs to the project and/or delivery project, any quantity or date
change that is done directly on the supply request itself will be questioned,
i.e. a question appears to make you aware that the supply has
originated from project.
