Entering Item Price Requests

You can enter item price requests manually or create them automatically.

To enter an item price request manually:

  1. Open theItem Price Requests form.
  2. Click New.
  3. Optionally, you can assign an ID to the request. If you do not, the system assigns one automatically when you save the record.
  4. Select an item.
  5. Specify the quantity you plan to purchase.
  6. Specify the ISO unit of measure for the item. This unit of measure is displayed to vendors, so it must use the international standard code rather than the SyteLine code.
  7. Specify the due date for the item price request. The status is set to Requested by default.
  8. Save the request. An email notification is automatically sent to all vendors associated with the selected item, via item categories, and also subscribed to the Item Price Request alert.

You also can create requests automatically from a purchase order requisition line or from a PLN by clicking the Price Request button on the Purchase Order Requisition Lines form or Planning Detail form.
