Firming Planned Orders into a Purchase Requisition

When the Source field on the Items form, General tab shows that the source for this item is Purchased and the Create PO Reqs from PLN field in the Planning Parameters form is selected, the system firms each selected planned order into a line on a purchase requisition.

  1. From the Planning Detail form, select the planned orders you want to firm.
  2. Select the Firm button. The system displays the Planning Detail Firm Purchase Requisition form.
  3. In the Purch Req field, perform one of the following actions:
    • To let the system assign the next available requisition number, leave the field blank.
    • To use a prefix other than the default, enter a new requisition prefix.
    • Enter an existing requisition.
  4. Select a vendor or vendor contract.

    If you know the vendor number, enter it in the Vendor field.

    Note:  By default, the system assigns the item's first-ranked item/vendor cross-reference. If you leave the Vendor field blank, and if no item/vendor cross-reference exists, the system creates the requisition with no vendor assigned to this item.
  5. Click OK. The system firms the planned orders into the requisition.
