Split a Requisition Line

A requisition line can be split into multiple requisition lines that can represent the same or different items.

For example, if the requisition line quantity is so large that a single supplier can't fill the entire order, then the order must be split to be filled by more than one supplier. Additionally, if you have a requisition line item that contains parts that you want to order as unique items, you can expand the requisition line into several lines. Use the Split window to split an existing requisition line into multiple requisition lines. Any new requisition lines can then be split as well.

In this scenario you have decided to split the requisition between two suppliers. To do that, you must split the original line, and then include each line in a separate purchase order for the supplier. This table shows the split lines for an original requisition line where the quantity was 50.

Requisition	Line	Item	Line Description	Quantity	UOM
1050555	2	ZL455-S505	Green Satellite Laptop	30	Each
1050555	3	ZL455-S505	Green Satellite Laptop	20	Each

You decide to purchase 30 units from Atlantic Tech and 20 units from Acme Office Supplies. Once you select the line and apply the Split action, you can enter the new quantities for the split requisition lines:
