What is the Basic Purchasing Setup for Requisition Import?
If importing requisitions from Inventory, input a value for the profile option INV: Minmax Reorder Approval. If the value of INCOMPLETE is selected, the result will be imported Requisitions that require an approval. If the value is APPROVED, then the requisitions cannot be queried in the Requisition entry form; rather, the Requisition Summary form will have to be utilized to view information on the imported approved requisitions.
If importing requisitions from MRP, input a value for the profile option MRP: Purchasing By Revision. This profile option is important if you are using multiple revisions per item and using sourcing rules to create Purchase Orders or Releases. This profile option indicates whether or not to pass on the item revision to the purchase requisition.
Setup/Organizations/Purchasing - Default Alternate Region Requisition Import Group-By Field. The Requisition Import process will first look at the Group By parameter selected when the process is submitted; should this parameter be left blank, the system will then look to the Group-By field residing in the Purchasing Options form. If you expect releases to be created from the requisitions, which you import, make sure the profile option PO: Release During Req Import is populated with the correct value. The choices for this profile are Yes or No. If the profile is set to Yes and all sourcing rule information is properly set up, then blanket releases will be created via the Create Releases process. If the profile is set to No, the Create Releases process will not run at the completion of Requisition Import and all releases will have to be created manually via Auto Create.
