You use this module if you wish to give notification of requirements of

materials and/or external services and keep track of such requirements.

Requests can be created either directly or indirectly. "Directly" means

that someone from the requesting department enters a purchase request

manually.

The person creating the request determines what and how much to order,

and the requested date.

"Indirectly" means that the purchase request initiated by the

application automatically, for example, from procurement orders (MO,

SO).

A purchase request is an instruction to Purchasing to procure a certain

quantity of materials services, so that they are available at a certain

point in time.

A line of a request contains the quantity and requested date of the

material to be supplied or the quantity of the service to be performed.

You can indicate the service specifications if needed.

Once request is approved go to the Purchase Request Lines from the menu

entry 'Purchase Requests', and also from the 'Purchase' menu.

Select the lines that you wish to initiate the RFQ for, then go to

'More' and press 'Create RFQ'.

You can choose to select an existing RFQ or create a new one. In the

later, you have to choose a supplier.

In case that you chose to select an existing RFQ, the application will

search for existing lines matching the request line, and will add the

extra quantity to them, recalculating the minimum order quantity, if it

exists for the supplier of that RFQ.

In case that you create a new RFQ, the request lines will also be

consolidated into as few as possible lines in the RFQ.

Configuration

To configure the product follow this steps:

1. Go to a product form.

2. Go to *Inventory* tab.

3. Check the box *Purchase Request* along with the route *Buy* and

*Replenish on Order (MTO)*

Note that MTO route is archived by default, you should unarchive it

first:

• Go to Inventory > Configuration > Routes, in the Search dropdown menu,

click *Archived* to show *Replenish on Order (MTO)* route and

*Unarchive* it.

With this configuration, whenever a procurement order is created and the

supply rule selected is 'Buy' the application will create a Purchase

Request instead of a Purchase Order.

Usage

Purchase requests are accessible through a new menu entry 'Purchase

Requests', and also from the 'Purchase' menu.

Users can access the list of Purchase Requests or Purchase Request

Lines.

It is possible to filter requests by its approval status.
