Requesting a non-cataloged part

A non-cataloged part is one that your agency doesn't stock, so it doesn't have a record in the part catalog. To request non-cataloged parts, you can create a purchase request line item. If your agency has created a purchase order for the parts, you can use the Purchase Order InfoViewer to link the request to the purchase order.

  1. Begin to create a requisition, or load an existing requisition in the InfoViewer and select the Line Items tab.
  2. Under the Line Items grid, click Add above the grid.
  3. Select Purchase Request from the Request Type list.
  4. Select Non-Cataloged Part in the Item Type list.
  5. Specify the number of parts in the Quantity field.
  6. Specify the date by which the requested item is required in the Need Date field.
  7. Type a description of the part in the Description field.
  8. Specify the vendor's identification code for the part in the Vendor Part # field.
  9. Provide any other information that is required for the line item.
    You can specify the part's vendor or manufacturer information, including the vendor or manufacturer's identification code for the part.
    If you didn't specify a delivery contact when you started creating the requisition or if a different person is receiving this particular part, specify the contact information for the person in the Contact fields. You can also specify an estimated price for the part in the Estimated Unit Price field.
  10. When you're finished adding the line item, click Save.
    Infor Public Sector closes the Add Line Item dialog box and updates the requisition with the new line item. The status of the line item is In Progress.
