Create Bill-Only Requisitions and Purchase Orders

Create bill-only requisitions and purchase orders for purchases that don't follow the standard procurement process by using the Bill Only special handling type. For example, in the healthcare industry, bill-only items such as implant devices are only ordered when they have already been used. You can capture details such as the physician's name and the product serial number onto the document. You can now require buyer review, override B2B communication, and automatically create receipts for your bill-only orders.

The Bill Only special handling type is available in the Manage Special Handling Types task.
