Understanding Requisition Detail Lines
You can create an order for an item quantity or an amount that is less than the quantity or amount on a requisition detail line. If you specify a lesser quantity or amount, the system releases that quantity or amount from the detail line, and you choose whether the balance remains open. The system closes a requisition detail line after the entire quantity is released for an order.
To specify whether unit costs appear for each detail line and whether the costs can be changed, you can set the processing options for Generate Orders from Requisitions which is accessed from the Requisition & Quote Management menu (G43A12).
You can also set the processing options to specify whether the system performs a tolerance check before creating an order for a requisition.
You can create an order for a requisition by selecting all detail lines on the requisition. You can also:
Combine detail lines from multiple requisitions to create a single order.
Select detail lines from a single requisition to create multiple orders.
You can combine detail lines from multiple requisitions to create a single order. You use this method to combine items and services for the same supplier. For example, if you receive two separate requisitions for staplers, you can combine the requisition detail lines to create a single order.
You can also separate detail lines on a requisition to create multiple orders. You do this when different suppliers provide the items or services on a requisition. For example, if you receive a requisition that contains an order for a stapler and an order for a chair, you can generate an order for the stapler and another for the chair.
You can enter service unit information for service order lines during the requisition process. Service units are informational only, so the system does not perform any validation against the values.
If the Display Service Units processing option on the Display tab of the Order Entry program (P4310) is set to display the Service Quantity and Service UoM fields, then these fields appear on the Order Release form (W43060A).
