A person with the authority to verify that the contents of the requisition are correct and approve spending.
Additional descriptive information about your requisition. The attachment may take the form of a file, URL, or text.
The term to group items with similar characteristics. Examples of categories include Office Supplies and Electrical Equipment. The categories you see when you request items come from two sources: categories that your Purchasing administrator has set up in Oracle Applications, and categories that external suppliers that your Purchasing administrator authorized have uploaded directly into the online catalog. (When you search for an item, you are searching the online catalog.)
Some categories contain other categories. For example, Office Supplies can contain the subcategories Paper and Pens. When you request an item, only the lowest-level category applies. When you request an item from the catalog, the lowest-level category for the item is the default category for you. When you create a non-catalog request, you select a category. The available categories to choose from are always the lowest-level categories.
Purchasing administrator can define a default deliver-to location for you in the My Profile page. This location applies to all your requisitions, but you can change it on any requisition.
Exchange rate to use when you select another currency for your requisition. The exchange rate is ignored if you are not using a foreign currency. You can specify an exchange rate only if the Rate Type is User. Otherwise, it is a fixed rate based on the rate type. Anything else that you enter is ignored.
The date upon which the exchange rate applies if you select another currency for your requisition. The exchange rate date is ignored if you are not using a foreign currency. The default is today's date, the date of the requisition, but you can change it. If this is not the correct exchange rate date, change it to the exchange rate date set up in Oracle Purchasing.
The type of exchange rate to use if you select another currency for your requisition. The exchange rate type is ignored if you are not using a foreign currency. Otherwise, it defaults to whatever your Purchasing administrator has set up as the default exchange rate type. Accept the default, or if you know that you need to use a different rate type, select it instead.
The date on which work is performed and is charged to a project and task.
For timecards and expense reports, the organization to which the incurring employee is assigned unless overridden by organization overrides. For usage, supplier invoices, and purchasing commitments, the incurring organization entered on the expenditure.

You can choose one of these item types on a non-catalog request.

Purchasing recognizes the United Nations (UN) standardized UOM codes, which are offered in the list of Units when you click Select next to the Unit field in a non-catalog request.
