How You Disable Automatic Sourcing of Requisition Lines

To disable automatic sourcing of requisition line to an agreement, you can use the Disable Automatic Sourcing of Requisition Lines feature. Using the feature, you can source the requisition line from suppliers who can best fulfill the requirements.

For example, if a shorter lead time is required, you can source the requisition line from the supplier who can fulfill the requirement rather than sourcing it according to an existing agreement.

Here are some of the consideration for using the feature:

• It applies only to requisition lines created using the Enter Requisition Line page. It doesn’t apply to requisition lines created using Smart Forms, Noncatalog request, or REST resources.
• It applies only to new requisition lines that don’t include a document source or existing requisition lines whose document source is no longer valid. You must have created the lines using the Enter Requisition Line page in both cases.
• After a requisition line is created with the feature turned on, the behavior of the line will be consistent even if the feature is subsequently turned off. For example, suppose the feature is turned on, and a requisition line that doesn’t have a valid document source is created using the Enter Requisition Line page. In that case, the requisition line will never be automatically sourced to an agreement even if the feature is later turned off.
