Purchase requisitions

	Purchase requisitions The purchase requisition procedure is designed for the nonpurchasing user who may not know the standard procedures in purchasing. For example, engineers can order material or services without understanding the entire purchasing process. Purchase requisitions are used to specify nonsystem planned requirements for various types of items, including inventory items, cost items, and service items. Purchase requisitions are created in the same way as all other buy and sell documents, such as purchase orders and sales orders. However, there is one significant difference: on a requisition, the item code and buy-from business partner codes can be blank. Therefore, the requester can make a request for a new item or make a request from a new buy-from business partner. Note These item types cannot be used on requisitions: Generic items List items (except for kit items) Equipment items Purchase requisition procedure The purchase requisition procedure includes these steps: Specify the purchase requisition parameters in the Purchase Requisition Parameters (tdpur0100m200) session. Maintain a list of approvers who are authorized to approve purchase requisitions in the Approvers (tdpur2105m000) session.

Peg distribution for a requisition line If the item on the requisition requires a peg, a peg distribution is linked to the Requisition Line in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. In a peg distribution, the required quantity of the parent business object is distributed across distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element and/or project activity. Using subcontracted items on requisitions In case of operation subcontracting, requisitions can include subcontracted service items, or Purchased or Manufactured items with linked material supply information. These requisitions can be generated from a routing operation or a production order. Subcontracted services can also be manually specified on a requisition. In case of service subcontracting, requisitions can include Cost or Service items, or Purchased or Manufactured items with linked material supply information. These requisitions can be generated from a work order activity in case of depot repair, or from a service order activity in case of field service.
