This chapter provides overviews of the requisition business process and how to apply procurement contract prices to transactions and discusses how to:
Create requisition header information.
Create requisition lines.
Create requisition schedules.
Use pegging with requisitions in PeopleSoft Purchasing.
Enter distribution information.
Copy an existing requisition to a new requisition.
Print requisition templates.
Preview and print requisitions.
You can add a level of control early in the procurement life cycle by entering item requests using requisitions.
You enter requisitions into PeopleSoft Purchasing using either the PeopleSoft Purchasing online requisition pages or the Purchasing Requisition Loader process (PO_REQLOAD). This chapter discusses requisition entry using the online requisition pages.
Requisitions consist of these basic elements: headers, lines, schedules, and distributions. Each requisition has one header, which can have multiple lines. Each line can have multiple schedules. Each schedule can have multiple distributions.
The schedule defines when and where you want the line items delivered. The distribution defines internal information for the schedule, such as how to charge accounts and departments for the purchase and how much of the total price each department should pay. When you process requisitions, you can track other requisition values such as pre-encumbrance balances when you have commitment control installed. These balances appear at the header level and the distribution-line level for requisitions and are carried over to purchase orders.
If you create a requisition using all available system-supplied values, you have to access only one page, the Maintain Requisitions - Requisition page. You don't need to access other pages, except to confirm or edit information that was supplied to the transaction from the default hierarchy.
Here is the basic flow of requisitions in PeopleSoft Purchasing:
Create the requisition in one of two ways:
Use the online requisition pages.
Use the Purchasing Requisition Loader process, which loads requisitions from external sources and PeopleSoft Inventory, PeopleSoft Order Management, PeopleSoft Project Costing, PeopleSoft Maintenance Management, and PeopleSoft Product Configurator (if these applications are installed with PeopleSoft Purchasing).
Approve the requisition.
The requisitions can require approval of amounts and ChartFields, or you can configure the users with authority to enter requisitions that require no additional approvals. You can also use PeopleSoft Approval Framework for requisition approvals.
See Setting Up the Approval Framework for PeopleSoft Purchasing.
Run the Commitment Control Budget Processor Application Engine process (FS_BP) if you've enabled the Commitment Control feature.
This process determines whether funds exist to cover the cost of the requisition. You can also run this process as a background process.
Copy request for quote (RFQ) or strategic sourcing events.
Copy the requisition into an RFQ or strategic sourcing event for the bidding process.
Source the requisition to purchase orders or inventory demand.
After you approve the requisition, it is sourced into purchase orders through online sourcing pages or background processes. You can source the requisition to PeopleSoft Inventory through the Build Inventory Demand process (PO_REQINVS). You can also copy the requisition directly into a purchase order using the online pages.
Note. If you create requisitions manually, you can set up the system to automatically apply contracts to requisitions. For more information, see the next sections.
Run the Requisition Reconciliation process (PO_REQRCON) to close qualifying requisitions.
Pegging in PeopleSoft Purchasing
By using the pegging feature, you can tag requisitions or purchase orders to be used to meet specific demand such as sales orders, interunit transfers, or production IDs.
See Using Pegging with Requisitions in PeopleSoft Purchasing.

Understanding the Close Requisitions Process
Understanding the Purchasing Requisition Loader Application Engine Process (PO_REQLOAD)
The PeopleSoft Purchasing application is integrated with procurement contract functionality to streamline the use of contracts with requisitions, purchase orders, and vouchers. As part of the contract functionality, you can:
Set up and use procurement contracts by item, category, or open item reference.
Using a category or categories tied to a contract, you can set up requisitions and purchase orders to reference the contract for any items under those categories.
Use procurement contract version control and change tracking so that you can view contract versions on requisitions, purchase orders, and vouchers.
Specify whether the system automatically supplies a contract on a requisition.
Specify whether the system automatically supplies a contract on a manual purchase order.
Control whether the system automatically searches for contracts when sourcing requisitions.
When sourcing requisitions in batch or processing online purchase orders, the system evaluates system settings to determine whether to check for prices and use a contract on the purchase order.
Define price adjustments at the header level of the contract that you can apply to transactions that use the contract.
This feature helps you streamline and simplify the entry of discounts and surcharges at the contract line-item and category levels. You can apply a predesignated set of adjustment criteria to each line or category on the contract.
You can set up requisitions to automatically search for a contract to use for requisitions. Applying contract prices to requisitions enables you to receive contract prices for requisition items and to more accurately track budgets and pre-encumberance balances. When the system applies contract prices, it controls the entire flow of the transaction, from the Requisition Loader to creation and update of purchase orders. Requesters, buyers, and administrators with the appropriate security can set to search for and use contracts on transactions at various levels.
The system uses the values in the requisition to apply negotiated contracts prices for purchases and transactions against the contract. The system searches for purchase order, general, and release-to-single PO only contracts. release-to-single PO contracts can be referenced manually on the requisition.
You use the Default Contract on Req check box on the Business Unit Options page to initiate the search. To access the page, select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Business Unit Related, Purchasing, Purchasing Definition, Business Unit Options.
To apply contracts to a requisition, the system locates possible contracts and copies them to requisition transaction lines when you create or change any of these fields on the requisition:
Vendor.
Quantity.
UOM (unit of measure).
Shipto.
Item.
Item Description.
To automatically supply a contract to a requisition, the system searches for and ensures that the correct contract is selected for use with the requisition and verifies that the Auto Default check box is selected on the Contract page. This makes the contract available to be automatically supplied to requisition and purchase order transactions.
You can override contracts at the line level that have been selected by the system. This Use Contract if Available check box is automatically selected when you select the Default Contract on Req check box for the business unit.
You can use pricing from contracts for requisitions and purchase orders. Using the Default Contract on Req and Default Contract on PO check boxes on the Business Unit Options page, you can make contracts available for use with requisitions and purchase orders.
Separate price calculation routines are used for online (PeopleCode) and batch processing (application engine). When pricing a purchase order line that has a contract category reference, you need to establish the base price (item vendor, manual, and so on), and then apply the category price adjustments, the vendor price adjustments, or both depending on the pricing options specified on the contract.
Copy Requisitions to Purchase Orders
When copying a requisition onto a new purchase order, the system evaluates settings on requisition lines that include the Use Contract If Applicable field.
The following table outlines how the system handles the combinations of these settings:
Use Contract if Applicable Field Setting |

Contract Pricing for Manually Entered Purchase Orders
You can select to indicate that the system should automatically search for appropriate contracts for purchase order lines. The Default Contract on PO check box on the PeopleSoft Purchasing Business Unit Options page applies only to manually created purchase orders, and not include orders created using a batch process. This automates the process of selecting the most appropriate contract for use with manually created purchase orders.
Note. The default contract on purchase order option does not apply to blanket purchase orders or to sourced PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing purchase orders.
If you select to search for contracts, the system begins its search for contracts with process types of Purchase Order or General, and that are in a current version with an Approved status. If multiple contracts exist, the system selects the one with the most recent (but not future) contract begin date. After validating the contract and using it on the transaction, the system:
Updates released amounts and quantities.
Creates a contract event.
Updates the transaction with contract information.
The default contract on purchase order option does not apply to PeopleSoft Services Procurement project roles on the contract. The Services Procurement system searches for an applicable contract on the work order, and uses it on a purchase order regardless of the Default Contract on PO check box value.
When the system determines the best contract, the contract is already validated. When you save the purchase order, the system validates the contract again in case you update released amounts and quantities and create the contract event. Other considerations for when the Default Contract on PO check box is selected include:
The system finds the most current active contract for the vendor and item. After that contract is determined, the system determines the most granular level to use as the contract reference, such as the line, then category, and then open item. If the contract uses line groups and multiple line references exist for the item, the system returns the line with the lowest price, or the lowest line number when there is a duplicate situation.
When the system finds a better contract for the purchase order than the existing contract, it provides a message with the option to let you keep the existing contract or load the new contract. This can happen when you update a purchase order line field and the change results in a different contract ID, line number or category line number.
When you are editing an existing purchase order line that has a contract ID, and the best contract cannot be found due to the version, you can replace the version number. If you do not have the authority to replace the number, the system keeps the existing version.
If the system finds the best contract based on a different contract ID, you can select to either use the new contract or keep the existing contract. If you select the new contract, the system replaces the contract ID and line, category line, and version number.
When you are copying an existing purchase order to a new purchase order and if changing a field results in a different contract ID, line number, or category line number, the system displays a message and provides you the option to replace the existing contract. If the new contract found is the same as the existing one on the purchase order, but version numbers are different, the system does not provide an option to replace the contract, but will use the most current version.
Source Requisitions and Create Purchase Orders Using Batch Processing
During sourcing requisitions in batch mode, the sourcing function evaluates the requisition line settings to determine how to price the order and assign the contract. The following table provides the valid combinations and corresponding results:

Status |
Displays the requisition status: Open: Appears by default from the requester. The requisition is not eligible for the approval process until an authorized user changes this status to Pending Approval. Pending: Depending on the Initial Status setting defined for the requester in the Requester Setup component, the default status might be set to Pending. Pending Approval: The requisition has been submitted for approval. Approved: The requisition is approved. Line Approved: One or more requisition lines are approved. Note. An individual requisition line that originates in PeopleSoft eProcurement can be approved and eligible for sourcing even if the entire requisition is not fully approved. The same is true for Purchasing requisitions when the approval framework is enabled for requisitions. Note. Requisitions in Canceled and Completed statuses are not available on this page and can be viewed only using requisition inquiry pages. |
|
Click to approve the requisition and its lines when the approval framework is enabled. |
|
Click to cancel the requisition. Cancellation is irreversible, and you must create a new requisition. You cannot change a canceled requisition. You can only cancel a requisition if you are granted authorization on the Define User Preferences - Procurement: Requisition Authorizations page. Also, if you cancel the requisition, it terminates the approval framework process. |
|
Click to make fields that are eligible for change request updates available for updates on this page. When a requisition is eligible for change tracking, the system makes the Create Header Change button available for use. The system makes all eligible change tracking fields available for entry. Inserting a new line or schedule or canceling an existing line or schedule can create a change request. You cannot delete a line or schedule if that line or schedule is eligible for change tracking. If you cancel a line, you also cancel its schedules and distributions. When you update the requisition and change tracking is required, the Change Reason page appears for you to define the change reason and enter comments. The system also makes the Current Change Reason link available if the change is the first change. You use this link to view the last change reason used. To review all tracked changes for a requisition, select the Change History option in the Go To field. When you click the Create Header Change button, the system checks to determine whether this is the first change request for this requisition. If so, the system inserts changed fields with the batch number and sequence number of 0 to store the original, history values for the requisition. |
Copy From |
Click to access the Copy Requisitions page. Using this page you can use information from an existing requisition to define information for the current information. |
Budget Status |
Displays the requisition budget checking status if budget checking is enabled. Not Chk'd (not checked): This is the requisition's initial budget checking status. The status may also return to this value after a value change that affected the budget status. Valid: The requisition has been successfully budget checked. Error: The requisition has failed budget checking. The text is enabled as a link, which you can click to access the Requisition Exceptions page, where you can view budget check exceptions for this requisition. Users with appropriate authority can override the budget exceptions on the Requisition Exceptions page. When you open a requisition that has failed a budget check, the system displays a message. Prov Valid (provisionally valid): The requisition has had a budget pre-check performed against it and it was valid. |
|
Click to invoke budget checking to verify that funds exist in the appropriate accounts to cover the price on the requisition. This option appears if budget checking is enabled for the database. |
|
Click to perform a pre-budget check. This button enables you to pre-budget check whether a budget exists for a requisition before the amount is committed to the pre-encumbrance or encumbrance and makes it possible to validate documents in work-in-progress mode without affecting budget balances. When performing pre-budget check processing, the Budget Processor performs all of its budget checking and edits, but does so without committing changes to the ledger or other records. The statuses of Provisionally Valid or Error on the transaction pages indicate whether a budget is available. If you click the button and if the pre-budget check is provisionally valid, then the system sets the budget header status for the requisition to Prov Valid. If the pre-budget check is not valid, then the system sets the budget header status to Error with a link to the Exception page. The button is visible only if the Purchasing check box is selected in the Enable Commitment Control section on the Installation Options - Products page and the Purchasing check box is selected in the Enable Budget Pre-check section on Installation Options - Commitment Control page. The button is not visible if the budget status is Valid. See Checking Budget Journals and Transactions Without Posting. |
Requisition ID |
If you are adding a requisition, enter an identifier for the requisition. If you are using automatic numbering, the field displays NEXT. |
Track Batch |
Displays the last batch number used to generate a tracked changes for the requisition. Change order numbers identify the batches of changes that you make to a requisition. |
Requisition Name |
If you are adding a requisition, enter a description of the request to help you identify this requisition as it flows through the system. If you are using PeopleSoft eProcurement, this value is carried from the eProcurement requisition to the Purchasing requisition when the requisition is created in eProcurement. |
Hold From Further Processing |
Select to temporarily prevent further processing of the requisition. The requisition will not be eligible for approval, unapproval, cancellation, closure, or sourcing to a purchase order. In addition, budget checking is determined by the selection criteria that you define as part of the Source Transaction definition for the Commitment Control Budget Processor process and whether you have selected the Hold From Further Processing check box for the requisition. If the HOLD_STATUS = N for the selection criteria for the source transaction, the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking, no budget checking will occur for the requisition. If the HOLD_STATUS is not entered as Selection Criteria for the Source Transaction, and the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking the budget checking process will execute for the requisition. If the HOLD_STATUS = Y for the selection criteria for the source transaction, the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking, the budget checking process will run but will process only the requisitions that are marked on hold. |

You then select the document type that you want to use to create the document and respond to wizard questions concerning the new requisition document. A requisition document is one that contains responses to wizard questions. Contract specialists can use these responses to determine proper terms and conditions for a contract document when the requisition becomes a contract. This link is available when PeopleSoft Supplier Contract Management has been installed and the application installation options have been set to use document types and to use documents with purchase order requisitions. You must also set up document types to use only with purchase order requisitions. After you create the document, use the Modify Request Document link to update and edit the document. |

Applying Changes to Default Values in Requisition Header, Line, Schedule, and Distribution Fields
Access the Retrofit field changes to all existing lines, schedules, and distributions page (exit the Header Defaults page after you have entered field value changes on the page or any of the pages accessed from it, and you have a transaction line that contains item description and quantity information).
When accessed from the requisition-related Header Defaults page, this page enables you to retrofit the header default field value changes to lines, schedules, and distributions on a requisition without having to manually apply them to each area. You can make the changes once and apply as many of them as you want to the transaction.
The option to apply these defaults is available depending on whether you select the Default or Override option on the requisition-related Header Defaults page.
Category and unit of measure defaults can be applied at the line level only for ad hoc (description-only) item requests.
Apply |
Select to apply the default values for header fields to the distribution line that appears in the Distrib Line (distribution line) field. For example, if you select Apply for Distrib Line 3, the change will be applied to each Distrib Line 3 that appears on the requisition. If the Distrib Line field is blank, the header default field value change does not apply at the distribution level. In this case, select the Apply option to carry the default value changes for header fields to the line or schedule level instead. |
Distrib Line (distribution line) |
Displays the distribution line affected by the field value change. If this field is blank, the default value change for header fields does not apply at the distribution level. |
Apply to All Distribs (apply to all distributions) |
Select to apply the default value changes for header fields to all existing distribution lines on the transaction, regardless of the value that appears in the Distrib Line field. A distribution percentage value (DISTRIB_PCT) is specific to an individual distribution line. Therefore, the Apply to All Distribs option is unavailable for this field value change. |

Access the Currency Information page (select 01 - Exchange Rate Detail in the Go to field on the Maintain Requisitions - Requisition page).
Rate Quotation Basis |
Displays the quotation basis for the exchange rate as defined on the Currency Quotation Method page. If a quotation method is not defined, the quotation basis is Direct. |
Quote Units |
Displays the quote units for the exchange rate as defined in the Currency Quotation Method page. If no quotation method is defined, the quote unit is 1. |
Triangulate |
Displays the triangulated setting for the exchange rate as defined in the Currency Quotation Method page. If no quotation method is defined, the triangulated setting is N. |
Reference Currency |
Displays triangulated exchange rates only and shows the reference currency used in the triangulated exchange. |
Current Quote |
Displays the current exchange rate used to convert the From currency to the To currency. A direct, nontriangulated rate shows quote units (or 1) on the left side of the equal sign and the visual rate on the right. For example: 1 USD = 1.40000000 CAD An indirect, nontriangulated rate displays the visual rate on the left side of the equal sign and quote units (or 1) on the right. For example: 1.400000000 CAD = 1 USD A triangulated rate displays two component rates of the triangle: the rate for converting the From currency to the Reference currency, and the rate for converting the Reference currency to the To currency. For example, for a direct rate quotation basis, USD to FRF involves triangulation, so 1 USD equals 5.69061334. The second rate for EUR is quoted indirectly. The third rate for EUR to FRF is direct and reads as follows: 1.1527 USD = 1 EUR = 6.55957 FRF |
Historic Quote |
Displays a quote indicating the quotation method originally used by a historic exchange rate if the system determines that the quotation method originally used by the historic rate was different from the current quotation method. For example, the Historic Quote field displays a quote if the historic rate converted the From currency to the To currency directly using a calculated reciprocal rate, but the current quotation method for the currency pair is now indirect. The field would also display a quote if the historic quote method were nontriangulated and the current quote method is triangulated. If the system does not determine that the historic and current quote methods are different, the Historic Quote field displays Not Applicable. |
Exchange Rate |
Displays a single visual rate for nontriangulated exchange rates or displays all three component visual rates for triangulated exchange rates. The cross rate for triangulated exchange rates is editable only if the Allow Override check box is selected in the exchange rate's quotation method definition. |

Amount Only |
Note. If you have a requisition that is associated with a maintenance work order or is pegged to a demand, then you cannot change the requisition line to an amount-only line. The system issues an error message. Select this check box to designate the line as an amount-only line. If you select this check box when creating a new requisition line, these actions occur on the requisition:
In addition, amount-only requisition lines can have only one schedule line. The system prevents you from adding another schedule line by removing the Add Row button on the Maintain Requisitions - Schedule page. If you have an existing requisition line, and then select this option, each of these values discussed previously is reset. If you are using commitment control, changing the setting of the Amount Only check box causes the resetting of the budget status to not checked. The Amount Only check box is not available for entry under these conditions:
If PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing is installed in your environment, you can set the Amount Only and RFQ Required check boxes at the same time. If PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing is not installed, the Amount Only and RFQ Required check boxes cannot be set at the same time. If both check boxes are selected at the same time, the system issues a warning message prior to deselecting the Amount Only check box. |
Inspection Required |

Contract
Use the Contract tab to view and maintain contract information related to the requisition. Using this tab, you can control whether you use an existing contract for requisition lines and search for contracts that match requisition requirements when you don't need to calculate the price.
Requisition lines with an item ID can reference line item contracts, contracts by category, and open item contracts. If the requisition is by amount only, whether the order is by description or line item, you can reference contracts only by category or open-item reference.
|
Click the Contract Search button to access the Contract Search page, where you can perform advanced searches for contracts. |
Contract ID |
Select the contract ID that you want to associate with the requisition line. Contract terms and pricing on the requisition may not reflect the true contract terms and pricing. When the requisition is sourced to a purchase order, the PO Calculations process calculates the purchase order terms and pricing according to the contract conditions. If a vendor is selected, you can select only from those contracts that are set up with the vendor. If a vendor is not defined yet, the vendor associated with the specified contract appears. After you have specified a contract, you cannot change the vendor. The Override Suggested Vendor check box is deselected and is unavailable for entry. If an item ID exists on the contract, the Calc Price (calculate price) check box is selected and unavailable for entry. You can select a contract ID and not the contract line number only if the contract is defined as an open item contract. This option is available for item ID, description-only, and amount-only lines. Amount-only requisition lines can be associated only with open-item contracts. To be eligible for selection on this page, the contract must be in Approved status and cannot be defined as an amount-only contract. Even if you do not specify a contract here, if you source the requisition through the PO Calculations process, the process may find an eligible contract for the requisition, and that contract is used on the purchase order. If the purchase order business unit's RFQ required rule indicates that the contract ID should be copied to the transaction if a valid contract is located, the contract ID and line number will be supplied by default to the requisition line. Note. If you select a blanket purchase order contract, you cannot override the choice by selecting a different purchase order on the Requisition Selection - Staging page. You cannot select the Define PO option on this page because you are using a contract that is assigned to one specific purchase order and the purchase order is already defined. You can click the Contract Details link to review the details of the contract that you select in this field. |
Contract Version |
Select the contract version that you want for this requisition line. Multiple versions are available when you are using version control. Contract versions enable contract administrators to create and maintain multiple versions of a contract in the procurement system. The field appears when version control has been established for the business unit. You define user authorization for changing a version using the Purchase Order Authorizations page. To access the page, select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, User Preferences, Define User Preferences, Procurement, and click the Purchase Order Authorizations link. You must have the authority to update the contract version. |
Contract Line |
Select the contract line that you want to apply to this requisition line. |
Category Line Number |
Select a contract category line number. Categories enable you to specify groups of items on a contract, rather than having to enter the items one at a time. |
Use Contract if Available |
Select to use contract pricing for this requisition line item. This overrides the setting of the Calculate Price? check box on the Sourcing Controls tab that determines whether the system uses purchase order sourcing to define a contract. When you select the Use Contract check box, the system uses the contract that you select for pricing an item on this requisition row. When you search for a contract and select to use the contract, the system automatically selects the Use Contract check box. |
GPO Contract (group purchasing organization contract) |
Select the group purchasing organization contract number. |
GPO ID (group purchasing organization ID) |
Select the group purchasing organization ID. |
Group ID |
Displays the line group to which this line item belongs. A line group is a bundle of items that buyers use in PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing to obtain better pricing for items. The system populates the Group ID field when:
|
Sourcing Controls
Select the Sourcing Controls tab.
These values control the unit price tolerances that the system uses to determine whether a requisition can be accepted by the PO Calculation process (PO_POCALC). The PO Calculation process calculates the correct price for a purchase order based on the item vendor or item price plus or minus any price adjustments. It can use the contract price if a contract is used and the Use Contract Base Price option is selected on the contract line.
The system applies the sourcing unit price tolerance to the suggested price on the requisition and then compares the result with the calculated purchase order price. If the purchase order price is outside the tolerance, the PO Calculations process rejects the staged row.
If you change the price of an ad hoc item on the Requisition Selection - Sourcing page, and the price exceeds tolerances defined here, the ad hoc row is not rejected. Instead, the system recognizes that the price exceeds the defined tolerances, issues a warning, and gives you the option to accept the newly entered price or reset it to the price defined on the original requisition.
Source Date |
Enter the date when the requisition is available for sourcing. The default value is the current system date. The requisition is available on the Requisition Selection page and AutoSelect Req page only after the source date. |
Calculate Price |
Select to have the PO Calculations process recalculate the sourced purchase order price based on the vendor selected. If this check box is deselected, the requisition price is the purchase order price. This check box is always deselected and unavailable for entry for description-only items. The check box is selected if the Contract Required check box is selected on the Purchasing Controls tab of the Purchasing Attributes page. The requisition process enables you to enter a contract with the Calculate Price check box deselected for an item if theContract Required check box is not selected in the Purchasing Attributes setup. |
Override Suggested Vendor |
Select to enable the sourcing process to override the suggested vendor. If you select this check box, the system overrides any vendor suggested on the requisition line with the vendor selected based on the applicable sourcing method. The setting of this check box depends on the setting of the Override Preferred Vendor check box on the User Preferences - Procurement: Requisition Authorizations page. If the Override Preferred Vendor check box is selected, the Override Suggested Vendor check box is selected and can be deselected. If the Override Preferred Vendor check box is deselected, the Override Suggested Vendor check box is selected and cannot be deselected. The logic behind this setting is that if you are not authorized to override the preferred vendor, you must accept the vendor selected by the PO Calculations process. |
Consolidate with other Reqs (consolidate with other requisitions) |
Select to source the line item to a purchase order line, along with quantities of the same item from other requisitions. If selected, you must also select the Override Suggested Vendor check box. |
Source to Inventory |
Select to source this requisition line from inventory. The check box is selected by default for inventory items. If the check box is selected, the Build Inventory Demand process (PO_REQINVS) attempts to fulfill the request. If it cannot fulfill the full demand, the remaining order quantity is sourced to a purchase order. |
Sourcing Controls |
Select the method for sourcing tolerances. Values are:
|
% Unit Price Tolerance (percent unit price tolerance) |
If you select a sourcing control of % Unit Price Tolerance, then enter the upper base price tolerance on a percentage of the suggested requisition price. If you want no tolerances to apply, enter exactly 999.99. |
% Unit Price Tolerance - Under (percent unit price tolerance - under |
Enter the lower price tolerance percentage. Prices that are less than this tolerance are rejected. A tolerance of 0 means that the requisition price must match the purchase order price. It does not mean that tolerances do not apply. |
Unit Price Tolerance |
If you select a sourcing control of Unit Price Tolerance, then enter the upper base price tolerance on an amount over the suggested requisition price. In Add mode, 999999.99999 appears by default. If you want no tolerances to apply, enter exactly 99999999.99999. |
Unit Price Tolerance - Under |
Enter the lower unit price amount tolerance. Prices that are less than this tolerance are rejected. A tolerance of 0 means that the requisition price must match the purchase order price. It does not mean that tolerances do not apply. |

Create Line Change |
When a requisition is eligible for change request or change order tracking, the system makes this button, and all change template fields, available for entry. Inserting a new line or schedule or canceling an existing line or schedule may create a change order. You can't delete a line or schedule. If you cancel a line, you also cancel its schedules and distributions. When you click the Create Line Change button, the system checks to determine whether this is the first change order for this requisition. If so, the system inserts change order fields with the batch number and sequence number of 0 to store the original history values for the line. When you change the quantity field on the line level, if only one schedule is tied to the line, both line and schedule quantity fields are tracked if they are the change order fields. |
Line Details

RFQ Required (request for quote required) |
The setting of the RFQ Required check box appears by default from the Item Category - Purchasing Item Attribute Hierarchy. Select this check box to indicate that this requisition line must be submitted for vendor quotes before purchase order sourcing. If you can override the RFQ required rule, which you set on the User Preferences: Procurement - Requisition Authorizations page, you can select or deselect the RFQ Required check box on this page. If you cannot override the RFQ required rule, you can select the RFQ Required check box only if it is deselected. You receive an error message if you try to deselect the RFQ Required check box if it is selected. Note. If the RFQ Required check box is deselected, the system checks to ensure that the business unit RFQ Required Monetary Threshold is defined, checks the line amount, and then sets the RFQ Required check box accordingly. When you save the requisition, the system also matches the requisition distribution ChartField values with the RFQ Rule ChartField values. If a match exists, the system selects the RFQ Required check box. |

Contract
Contract ID |
Select the contract ID that you want to associate with the requisition line. The adjacent field displays the contract line number. Contract terms and pricing on the requisition may not reflect the true contract terms and pricing. When the requisition is sourced to a purchase order, the PO Calculations process calculates the purchase order terms and pricing according to the contract conditions. If a vendor is selected, you can select from only those contracts set up with the vendor. If a vendor is not defined yet, the vendor associated with the specified contract appears. When you have specified a contract, you cannot change the vendor. The Override Suggested Vendor check box is deselected and unavailable for entry. If an item ID exists on the contract, the Calc Price (calculate price) check box is selected and unavailable for entry. You can select a contract ID and not the contract line number only if the contract is defined as an open item contract. This option is available for item ID, description-only, and amount only lines. Amount-only requisition lines can be associated only with open item contracts. To be eligible for selection on this page, the contract must be in Approved status and cannot be defined as an amount only contract. Even if you do not specify a contract here, if you source the requisition through the PO Calculations process, the process may find an eligible contract for the requisition, and that contract is used on the purchase order. If the purchase order business unit's RFQ required rule indicates that the contract ID should be copied to the transaction if a valid contract is located, the contract ID and line number will be supplied by default to the requisition line. Note. If you select a blanket purchase order contract, you cannot override the choice by selecting a different purchase order on the Requisition Selection - Staging page. You cannot select the Define PO option on this page because you are using a contract that is assigned to one specific purchase order and the purchase order is already defined.

Access the Item Description page (click the Item Description link on the Maintain Requisitions - Details for Line page).
The item description appears in the base language in the Transaction Item Description text box. The item description appears in the preferred language in the display-only Preferred Language Item Descr (preferred language item description) text box. The preferred language is the language preference that you specify when you log in to the system.
The item descriptions in the preferred language are defined in the Purchasing Attributes component. This component is capable of storing certain field values in the base language, as well as in preferred languages.
For example, if the base language for the system is French, but you log in with a preferred language of Dutch, certain fields, including Item Description in the Purchasing Attributes component, are available for entry in the preferred language of Dutch. If you enter an item description in a preferred language of Dutch, when you log in to the system with a preferred language of Dutch and access the Item Description page, the Preferred Language Item Desc text box displays the item description that you entered in the preferred language. The Transaction Item Description text box retains the item description entered in the base language.
If an item description in the preferred language does not exist, or if the base and preferred languages are the same, the base language item description appears in the Preferred Language Item Descr text box.
You can modify the item description in the Transaction Item Description text box on the transaction line for requisitions, RFQs, contracts, and purchase orders. For all other scenarios, the Transaction Item Description group box is unavailable for entry.
Use the Description text box on the transaction line to enter ad hoc items on RFQs, requisitions, contracts, and purchase orders. The description that you enter becomes available on the Item Description page. The preferred language option is not applicable in this scenario.

Price |
Enter the unit price of the item. If you are using commitment control, the price field is unavailable for modification when a requisition schedule that is distributed by quantity has been partially or fully sourced to a purchase order. This field is also unavailable for modification when you create a change order for a requisition (that is distributed by quantity) that has been partially or fully sourced to a purchase order. |
Amount |

Due Date |
(Optional) Select the requisition schedule due date. The date that you enter becomes the default purchase order due date. If you don't specify a due date here, when you source the requisition to a purchase order, the system derives the due date by incrementing the purchase order date by the number of lead-time days defined for the item. If the item is not defined in the system, or if you are ordering by description-only, the due date becomes the purchase order due date by default. Note. If the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit associated with the ship to location requires closure calendar validation and processing for receiving activities as defined on the Closure Calendar page, and the due date that you enter falls on a defined closure date, the system issues a warning. You can choose to keep the invalid date, or use the next valid date on the calendar. |

All eligible change request and change order fields are disabled prior to selecting this button. The Cancel buttons are also enabled. Inserting a new line or schedule or canceling an existing line or schedule creates a change order. You can't delete a line or schedule if it is eligible for change order processing. When you click the button, the system checks whether this is the first change for this requisition. If so, the system inserts change order fields with the batch number and sequence number of 0. This stores the original values of the schedule. Changing the quantity field on the schedule level causes both line and schedule quantity fields to be tracked if they are define as change request or change order fields. |
Schedule - Maintenance WO
Select the Maintenance WO (maintenance work order) tab.
Note. This tab does not appear on this page if PeopleSoft Maintenance Management is not installed.
If a requisition was created through the Purchasing Requisition Loader process coming from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management, then the fields on this page are populated with the work order information from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management. If work order information does not already exist, you can manually associate the work order information with the requisition using the fields on this page.
In PeopleSoft Purchasing you can associate a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order only with a requisition for noninventory and description-only items. When you make this association, the requisition schedule is pegged to a work order. You use the Pegging Workbench to associate work orders with inventory items on a requisition.
When you associate a work order with a requisition, the system copies the distributions from the work order parts template, including distribute by method, distribution percentage, general ledger business unit, ChartFields, and projects information.
In addition, if you change the work order information that is already associated with a requisition schedule, the system deletes the existing requisition distributions and copies the work order distributions from the work order itself. Also, the pegging information is updated to reflect the new work order information.

Changing Work Order Information
If the purchase order distributions are associated with a requisition, you must clear the requisition before you can change the work order information. Also, if the work order is associated with the purchase order schedule (noninventory and ad hoc (description-only) lines), then when you make a change to the purchase order and reopen the quantity back on the requisition, the system reopens the requisition pegs to the work order. Changes that can cause this behavior are reducing quantity, canceling a distribution, and deleting a distribution. If the purchase order is for an inventory item, reopening the requisition quantity does not reopen the pegs—you must manually redo the pegging.

This section provides an overview of using pegging with requisitions in PeopleSoft Purchasing , lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
Use the Pegging Workbench.
View pegging information.
You can use the pegging process with requisitions and purchase orders. By using the pegging feature, you can prevent the incoming supply from being promised, reserved, or allocated to another order by tagging it to be used specifically for certain requisitions and subsequent purchase orders. You can use requisitions and purchase orders as supply to satisfy sales orders or material stock requests (MSR) from inventory. However, you can break (remove) pegs by using the Pegging Workbench.
If a requisition is pegged to satisfy specific demand such as a sales order or MSR, this information is copied over to the purchase order.
Two types of pegs are available:
A soft peg links an outgoing order to the quantity included in an incoming supply. For example, a sales order for 10 units is soft-pegged to an incoming purchase order with 2,000 units. When a soft peg is changed or canceled, the peg is changed but the incoming supply (in this case the purchase order) is not changed. A notification is sent to the buyer informing them that a change in the demand pegged to the PO has taken place. Soft pegs are useful when items are in short supply and you want to peg higher-priority customer orders to specific supply.
A hard peg is created when a sales order (demand) creates a purchase order, requisition, or interunit transfer (supply) to fulfill it. Hard pegs are created from the sales order only when you are adding a direct ship or direct receipt. All other orders are considered soft pegs and result in notifications only upon changes. When a hard peg is changed or canceled, not only is the peg changed, but also the incoming supply is changed. For example, a sales order for 10 units is hard-pegged to an incoming purchase order with 10 units. If the sales order is changed to 4 units, then the purchase order is changed to 4 units. Hard pegs are useful for make-to-order items or special products.
The following are examples of hard pegs:
A new direct ship purchase order (formerly drop ship purchase order)
A new direct receipt purchase order or a direct receipt interunit transfer that is created from a sales order
A new direct ship requisition (formerly drop ship requisition)
A new direct receipt requisition that is created from a sales order
Note. All other orders are considered soft pegs.

Note. Items must indicate that they are to be received into an Inventory business unit to access the Pegging Workbench.
Use the Pegging Workbench to apply, change, or remove pegs. The workbench enables you to link a specific quantity from a demand to incoming supply. For example, 10 units of a soft-reserved item on a sales order's demand line can be pegged to 10 units on a requisition line. One demand line can be pegged to one or more supply-side lines. For example, 10 units of a soft-reserved item on an order's demand line can be pegged to 4 units on one purchase order and 6 units on another purchase order. In addition, you can peg the supply side to the demand side, for example, starting with a purchase order line with 10 units and pegging to a sales order that needs 10 units.

Hard Peg |
Indicates whether the row has hard-pegged demand or supply. Hard pegs indicate that the existing peg has a one-to-one relationship between a demand line and a supply-side line. If you attempt to peg additional demand or supply quantities to this row, the system displays a warning that will change the peg to a soft peg. If you continue with the change, then the peg chain is changed to a soft peg. |
QTY Available Remaining (quantity available remaining) |

Click the Schedule button on the Maintain Requisitions - Requisition page, and then click the Distribution button on the Maintain Requisitions - Schedule page).
The settings of the Override and Default options on the Header Defaults page affect defaulting behavior on this page when you split distribution lines.
For example, if you selected the Override option and you split 50 percent of distribution line 1 to distribution line 2, the system checks the requisition line defaults for a matching distribution line number (in this case, it is 2). If no match exists, the system checks the requisition header defaults. If no match exists, it applies the value from distribution line 1. If no value exists on distribution line 1, the system looks to the next levels in the default hierarchy.
If you have the Default option selected and perform the same split, the system checks the default hierarchy first. If no values exist, the system checks the requisition line and header default values as described previously.
Add distribution lines to the schedule to divide the delivery of goods among business units in the organization and to further define the accounting distributions. Sequential numbers are assigned to each distribution that you define for a schedule.
Distributions are transferred to purchase orders, but are not sent to the vendor.
Distribute by |

Enter the quantity of items that you want distributed on the distribution line. The value in the Percent field is calculated based on this value. This field is available for entry when you distribute by quantity. Note. You cannot enter a distribution quantity greater than the associated schedule quantity. To increase the quantity on a distribution line, return to the Maintain Requisitions - Schedule page and increase the schedule quantity, or reduce the quantity on other distributions for that schedule. The quantity on the distributions must equal the ordered quantity of the associated schedule. |
Merchandise Amt (merchandise amount) |
Enter the total amount that you want distributed on the distribution line. The value in the Percent field is calculated based on this value. This field is available for entry when you distribute by amount. |
Account and Alt Account (alternate account) |
Select the account and alternate account for this distribution line. If you associate a purchasing kit definition with a requisition, the account and alternate account fields appear by default from the purchasing kit definition. If the fields are not defined on the purchasing kit definition, the system looks at the header defaults. If the fields are not there, the system continues to look at the other levels of the default ChartField hierarchy. |
Pre-Encumbrance Amount |
Displays the monies that you have committed in pre-encumbrances. The system extracts these values from commitment control tables by passing the business unit, document ID, and other key information that depends on the display. Pre-encumbrance balances appear on the currency code for the balances in the transaction currency of the requisition and are based on the transaction date rate. You can view budget details for the requisition, such as the purchase orders and voucher that have been created from the requisition. Click the Pre-Encumbrance link to access the PO Accounting Entries Inquiry, where you can select a General Ledger business unit and commitment control ledger group to use as a budget inquiry. |
Details
Select the Details tab.
IN Unit (PeopleSoft Inventory business unit) |
Select the default PeopleSoft Inventory business unit for which you are purchasing the items. If the item on the requisition line is an inventory item and the Defaults Inventory BU check box is selected on the Requester Setup page, the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit defined at the ship to level is supplied to the distribution. If the item is an inventory item and the check box is deselected, the system does not provide a default value. If the item on the requisition line is not an inventory item, this field is unavailable for entry. You can enter a PeopleSoft Inventory business unit for items that are identified as stockless. The presence of an Inventory business unit value in this field causes the items to be received and put away to the selected Inventory business unit. If you do not want the items to be received into inventory, be sure to clear this value. |
Statistics Code |
Select a code that identifies a value that you use to identify non-monetary amounts. Examples might be work days or floor space. |
Open Qty (open quantity) |
Enter the quantity on the distribution not yet sourced to a purchase order. This field is available for entry when you distribute by quantity. |

|
Click the Cancel button to cancel a selected distribution line. After a distribution line is canceled and the requisition is saved, the distribution line cannot be changed and is unavailable for entry. Cancellation reduces the schedule line open quantity and amount by the open quantity and amount on the distribution line. It also changes the distribution line open quantity and amount to zero. The total order quantity at the requisition line and schedule are not reduced. The canceled distribution line information is stored for future reference. Important! You can't source a quantity on a distribution line that has been canceled. |
Asset Information
Select the Asset Information tab.
AM Unit (PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit) |
Select a PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit to associate with the asset item. If this field is populated by the system, the value appears by default from the PeopleSoft Purchasing business unit or the Requisition Defaults page.
Note. If you consider an item to be an asset and plan to
pass it to PeopleSoft Asset Management through the PeopleSoft Receiving business
process, you must populate theAM Unit (PeopleSoft
Asset Management business unit) field and Profile ID field. |
Profile ID |
Select an asset profile ID. |
CAP# (capital acquisition plan number) |
Select a CAP number defined for this item in PeopleSoft Asset Management. This is required only if the item is capitalized. |
Sequence |
Select a sequence number for the capital acquisition plan. |
Tag Number |
Enter an asset tag number. The quantity on the distribution must be 1 to enter a tag number. This information becomes available on the Asset Information page when the asset data has passed on to PeopleSoft Asset Management. In addition, the system checks the tag number that you enter on the requisition to make sure it is not already assigned to an asset when the Allow Dup Tags option is not set for the PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit. If the tag number has already been assigned to another asset, the system issues a warning. The system looks only at the Assets table; it does not look at the interface tables, previously entered receipts, purchase orders, or requisitions to determine whether the tag number has been assigned to another pending transaction. |
EmplID (employee ID) |
Select an employee ID of the custodian for this item. This information corresponds to the employee ID number on the Asset Custodian/License/Manufacturer page. |
Capitalize |
Designates a capitalized item. A PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit must be selected for this check box to be enabled. If the item is capitalized, it can be depreciated before being paid. |
Cost Type |
Select the cost type associated with the item purchase, if applicable. Cost types represent components of the cost of an asset, such as materials, labor, and overhead. For example, you can differentiate between the cost of building an asset and its market value by allocating production cost to one cost type and the profit margin to another. Cost type, in combination with asset category and transaction code, determines which accounts the costs are entered into in the general ledger. |
Budget Information
Select the Budget Information tab.
Distrib (distribution line) |
Displays the distribution line number. |
Budget Status |
When commitment control is on, the system displays the budget status for this distribution line. Statuses include Valid and Not Chk'd. |
Budget Date |
If commitment control is enabled, enter a budget date. Commitment control uses this date to determine the budget period to which this item cost belongs. |
Merchandise Amount |
Displays the merchandise amount for this distribution line. |
Pre-Encumbrance Balance |
When commitment control is activated, the system displays the pre-encumbrance balance. When you create a purchase order, commitment control liquidates the pre-encumbrance balance from the requisition and establishes an encumbrance for the purchase order. You must reestablish pre-encumbrance documents manually. |
Currency Code |
Appears for the pre-encumbrance amounts at the distribution level of the requisition. This is the currency of the default commitment control ledger group for the distribution-level General Ledger business unit. |
Pre-Encumbered Base Balance |
Displays the beginning pre-encumbered amount. |
Base Currency |
Displays the base currency for the distribution. |
Commitment Control Close Flag |
Appears as selected when the purchase order associated with the requisition has been fully liquidated, thus indicating that the outstanding pre-encumbrance has also been fully liquidated. This option can also appear as selected when the distribution has been canceled. |

This feature eliminates redundant data entry by using an existing requisition as a template. You can select and copy any requisition, regardless of its status. If information already exists on the requisition line to which you are copying, you are prompted to confirm that you want to clear existing data and proceed with copying the requisition to the selected line. You can locate requisitions to copy using search criteria. For example, you can search for a requisition based on a requisition ID or status, requester or requisition name, or item description.
When you copy a requisition that has procurement card information defined, the system does not copy the procurement card information to the new requisition. The system redetermines the procurement card information for the new requisition by looking at the card information that is defined for the requester.
When you copy a requisition that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order, the system does not copy over the work order information to the new requisition.
You can copy a canceled requisition or a requisition that has canceled lines to a new requisition. If you copy a canceled requisition, all the lines from the canceled requisition are copied over to the new requisition and the status of the lines is made active. If you copy a requisition that has one or more lines canceled, only the active lines from the existing requisition are copied to the new requisition.
The status of the newly created requisition is Open, Pending, or Approved, depending on requester setup.
You can override any values that were copied over with the requisition. Activity and original requisition dates are not copied over.
