Why my requisition wasn't automatically converted into a purchase order?

You can use automated order creation to automatically convert an approved requisition into a purchase order. Automated order creation can be done with no manual intervention from a procurement agent.

However, automated order creation can fail because of one of these reasons:

• The requisition line doesn't have a valid buyer.

• The requisition line requires negotiation.

• The requisition line doesn't have a supplier or supplier site.

• The requisition line has an item that's not purchasable in the default inventory organization of the assigned procurement BU.

• The requisition line references a Procurement Card but one of these conditions is true:

  • The Procurement Card isn't active.

  • The supplier site doesn't accept a Procurement Card.

  • An active financial orchestration flow exists.

• The requisition line is an emergency request, but the emergency PO already exists.

• The requisition line doesn't have a valid source agreement.

• The requisition line is sourced to a valid contract purchase agreement, but the Negotiated check box on the requisition line isn't selected.

• The Automatically generate orders check box isn't selected on the source agreement.

• The Consolidate Online Requisitions into Few Purchase Orders feature is enabled and you didn't run the Generate Orders process to create the purchase order. This condition applies if the backing agreement to which the requisition is sourced has the Group requisitions check box selected.
