For purchase requisition items that were not assigned to sources at the time of their creation, you can perform either of the following actions:
- Collectively assign sources and convert these purchase requisitions using a single transaction.
- Assign the purchase requisitions to sources first, and then continue processing the assigned items with other transactions.
If you want to carry out the assign and process steps together, use the Assign and Process function for purchase requisitions. This function is a combination of the Assign Source to Purch. Requisition function and the Ordering: Assigned Purchase Requisitions function.
In the Process Purchase Requisitions V2 (F1048A) app, you can display all purchase requisitions items created. You can filter the unassigned purchase requisition items by filtering the Assigned Source of Supply column with the value No.
A user can perform any of the following actions:
- Assign a source of supply and create a purchase order.
- Create a purchase contract.
- Create a request for quotation (RFQ).
If there are several sources of supply for a product, you can choose the desired source from a list of possible sources. You can manually assign requisitions for which no source was found to a supplier. If no suitable supplier is identified, you can initiate an RFQ process.
After assigning a source of supply, you can convert the purchase requisition item into a purchase order, supplier contract, or RFQ. Multiple selection is possible for the generation of the follow-on documents.
