Generate Purchase Requisitions

Use the Generate Purchase Requisitions function to create purchase requisitions within the Purchase Order application for items that, according to the RP reports, you need to purchase. This function follows through with the information listed on the Planned Purchases Report.

Remember that purchase requisitions are not the same as purchase orders. Purchase requisitions are stored in a different table than orders and must be converted to orders using the tools in the Purchase Order application. Refer to the Purchase Order online help for more information.

Note: When you use this function, it is important that you use the same criteria you used to print the Planned Purchases Report; otherwise, the results may not be what you expect.
