Using the Express Order task

The Express Order task enables you to add a specific item to a requisition. Use this task when you know the exact item that you will add to the requisition.
Note: The user may be redirected to the Special/Service screen when searching for a non-existing item, depending on the Requesters (RQ04.1) or Company (IC01.1) setup.

Express order items are inventoried or non-stock. The Inventory Control application maintains the quantities and cost of inventoried items. A non-stock item type is defined in the Item Master file, but not tracked in inventory.

You can enable a task using Requesters (RQ04.1) or Company (IC01.1) to access it. You can enable a task for a requester but not the company, providing the requester access to the task when no one else in the company has access.

Note:  By default, items added through Express Order are placed on a separate requisition from items added through Punchout. To allow Punchout requests to be combined with non-Punchout items, set Allow Combined Items = Yes in the rqc_config.xml file or RQC.95.1 configuration setup.

See Express Order task.
