Events created from requisitions

Any requisition line can be sent to Strategic Sourcing and be generated into an event or appended to an existing event. Requisitions can be flagged using the Strategic Sourcing event field on requisition lines, on classes/code on Requisitions or Requisitions Center. You can also flag requisition lines using the event function code on Purchasing Worksheet. Requisitions must have completed any approval processes before they will be sent to Strategic Sourcing.

Because you send each line, you can elect to send only part of a requisition.

The default output type for events that are created from Requisitions is PO but can be changed.

One requisition can generate multiple events, or multiple requisitions can be combined into one Strategic Sourcing event. Strategic Sourcing inquires on multiple fields on a requisition line to determine if they can be combined into one event line. If certain fields on a requisition line match, then the lines are combined into one event line.

These are the fields:

  • Item number
  • Item type
  • Item description
  • Item description 2
  • Service code
  • UOM
  • Quantity
  • Ship To
  • Distribution type
