How You Populate the Purchase Order Description from the Requisition Description

To populate purchase order description from the backing requisition automatically when creating new purchase orders, you must use the Populate the Purchase Order Description from the Requisition Description feature.

Here are some of the considerations before using the feature:

• The purchase order description populates from the requisition description only in these cases:

  • When the application automatically generates a purchase order based on an approved requisition.

  • When you manually process requisition demand into a new purchase order.

  • When you choose a negotiation outcome to be a purchase order and negotiation has a backing requisition.

• The requisition description doesn't get copied when grouping multiple requisitions into a single purchase order.

• The requisition description doesn't get copied when you add a new requisition line to an existing order.
