Requester

The Requisitions application requires you to set up at least one requester. A requester is the person, department, function, or location responsible for initiating requests or demands for materials, supplies, or inventory items. Depending on security needs, requesters can be individuals, generic groups, or inventory locations. Each requester has a default company. The requester identifies the originator of a requisition.

Requester	Description
Individual	A requester can have more than one requester ID. Using the ID, the requester can perform different functions with different security levels at different locations.
Generic group	A group of requesters, such as all the people in a department.
Inventory location	An inventory location can request items from these reports: Distribution Requirements Report Location Replenishment Report Replenishment by Requisition POs For information about inventory locations set up as requesters, see the Inventory Control User Guide.

The requester name is the form identification followed by the Inventory Control (IC) location name. You must set up specific requesters named after each report so the requisition source is traceable. For example, a requester named DR100WHNORTH can be set up for the Distribution Requirements Report (DR10) and for an IC location of WHNORTH.

You can control the purchasing classes that a requester can request. You can define a purchasing class in Purchasing Class (IC07.1) to assign items in the Item Master file. You can also assign purchasing classes to a requester in Requesters (RQ04.1) on the Purchasing Classes tab. If you do not assign a purchasing class to a requester, the requester can request only items in the assigned major and minor purchasing classes. Purchasing classes
