Create Emergency Requisitions

You can now create emergency requisitions in the Redwood Self Service Procurement application and get purchase order numbers reserved on requisition submission.

To use the feature, select the Emergency purchase order request checkbox on the Requisition Summary page . You can create emergency requisitions only where all lines in the requisition belong to a single supplier, site, and sold-to legal entity (sold-to legal entity is derived using the Deliver-to Location attribute).

Offering: Procurement

If you want to use the Create Emergency Requisitions feature, then you must opt in to one or both of these features:

Enable the Redwood Version as the Default Self Service Procurement Application: Makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to all your users and hides the Purchase Requisitions work area from all your users.
Procure Goods and Services Using the Redwood Self Service Procurement Application: Keeps the Purchase Requisitions work area available to all your users and makes the Purchase Requisitions (New) work area available to the users who are assigned this privilege: Manage Requisition with the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application (POR_MANAGE_REQ_WITH_PWA_PRIV).

If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Tips And Considerations

You can't create an emergency requisition if the requisition contains at least one internal material line.
Approvers can't edit emergency purchase order requisitions. However, they can edit a standard requisition and convert it to an emergency one.
