How item types affect requisitions
The item type determines whether item information is displayed automatically or must be specified on the requisition manually. Also, the item type determines the default setting of the "Create PO" flag.
| Item Type | Effect on a Requisition |
|---|---|
| Inventory (I) |
When an inventory item is added to a requisition, the item information automatically displays. The "Create PO" flag is set to No. If you need to order an inventory item directly from a vendor, this flag can be set to Yes manually. |
| Non-stock (N) |
When a non-stock item is added to a requisition, the item information automatically displays. The "Create PO" flag is set to Yes. |
| Special Order (X) |
You must specify the item information manually. The "Create PO" flag is set to Yes. |
| Service (S) |
You must specify the item information manually. The "Create PO" flag is set to Yes. |
