Purchase Order Requisition
On the Purchase Order Requisitions and Purchase Order Requisition Lines forms, this number is a unique key identifying the purchase order requisition. For new requisitions, the system automatically assigns a number, as described in the note below. It is possible to overwrite this number, however, by entering any unused number.
Note: If your system uses a PO requisition prefix
(set in the Purchasing Parameters form),
when incrementing PO requisition numbers the system looks for the last
number that begins with the prefix and ends with a numeric digit and adds
1 to it. The system ignores numbers that contain alphabetic characters
after the prefix. If you are not using a prefix, the system looks for
the largest number and adds 1 to it.
On the Convert PO Requisition form, enter the purchase requisition number to convert.
On the Purchase Orders form, the number of the purchase order requisition (if any) from which the purchase order was generated displays.
