Purchase Requisition Entry <REQ>

The purpose of the Purchase Requisition Entry <REQ> function is to calculate stock required to be purchased from a supplier to maintain minimum stock levels for an item. Processing of the Purchase Requisition will automatically generate Purchase Orders for the designated supplier(s).

These minimum stock levels have already been predetermined within the "Location Quantity Holdings" section within the "Item Maintenance" <IM> function.

If there has been no minimum quantity set, then the Purchase Requisition Entry <REQ> will automatically replenish a negative stock amount.

Also within Item Maintenance <IM>, if no Default Supplier has been set up in the Details screen as shown below, then choosing parameters within the Purchase Requisition Entry <REQ> screen becomes more difficult.
