This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Create Requisition: Search Results Page.

You can search for an item across all categories (All) or select a specific category (Catalog, Express Forms, Favorites, Item History, Order Sheets, Punchouts, and Templates). The top of the Search Results page displays buttons for the categories or types that contain the item matching your search criteria. In this example, the default selection is the Catalog Items category, which displays the items within it. Select another category to view the results within it. The values in the drop down depend on which pages your organization has authorized for Create Requisitions. Therefore, the categories available may depend on whether or not these pages are in use.

In the right column, the search results display the PO ID, item name, and supplier name. Click the item description link to view the item details and perform Add to Favorites and Add to Templates. The links for each item, such as Inventory, Price Breaks, Contract, Stock, and Substitute Item appear as applicable.

Select any of the sort options (Description, Price - high to low, Price - low to high, and Relevance) in the Sort By drop-down to reorganize the search result. To configure the sort options, see Search Settings Page and Manage Weighted Sort Rules Page.

Note:

Price - high to low and Price - low to high sort options sort the search result based on the price value irrespective of currency type.

To make Relevance Sort Option available, APPLY_WEIGHTED_SORT Role Action should be enabled for the requester and at least one Weighted Sort Rule should be activated.

The left column of the search results displays a list of items along with Category, Manufacturer Name, Supplier Name, Category Path, and Preferred Supplier details when a catalog item is searched. To filter the items, select any category. The Category Path includes both internal and external catalogs. For imported external catalogs, it shows the Direct Connect Node names. To filter items for a specific external catalog, select the corresponding Direct Connect Node name. If an item in the search results is imported from an external catalog, icon appears before the item's name link.

For more details about the importing of external catalogs, see Maintain External Catalogs Page.

To add external catalog items to the cart, select the item name or click the Add to Cart button. The system will redirect you to the external supplier page, where you can proceed to checkout.
