Filters

Filters are a set of criteria that you define for batch jobs that create purchase orders out of order requests. When you run the batch job, the Purchase Order application processes only those order requests with the filter parameters you define.

For example, you can define a batch job for only the order requests from the Requisitions application, a specific vendor, a specific location, and accounting unit. You can also specify a certain item or class of items, a specific requisition, requesting location, activity, report group, and so on.
