Requisition

Requisition is a document that is created to request the purchase/transfer of a certain list of materials. It is an internal document and remains within the organization. A requisition can be internal or external. Internal requisitions are converted to internal purchase orders to transfer materials from a different inventory organization. External requisitions are converted to external purchase orders to procure material from an external supplier.

In inoERP, a requisition is a list of the items/product description, quantities, and dates that you want to receive in your organization to fulfill certain demands. Though Item, Supplier, Payment Terms are not mandatory to create a requisition, you need to enter this information before converting a requisition to a Purchase Order. A requisition consists of

  • Header
  • Line
  • Detail

A requisition header contains the necessary information for the items requested on the requisition. You need to enter Business Unit information to create a requisition. When converting a requisition to a Purchase Order, the system copies all the header level information to the destination document.

To view/create/update a requisition, navigate to the "requisition" search screen from your dashboard/favorite.

Enter the organization/requisition details or any other criteria in the search form and click on the search button to view an existing requisition.
Click on create a new button to create a new requisition; by manually entering all the information, Copy an existing requisition to a new requisition is always better than manually entering all the data to create a new requisition. The application lets you update all the details before confirmation; you can configure which fields are view-only after the confirmation.

If you don't enter organization/supplier details, the system will show you all the requisitions. If your organization has configured to make any field mandatory for search, then you have to enter those fields to search requisitions.
The application will fetch all the server data and take you to the search result screen. The search result screen looks a bit different on desktop and mobile devices.

To view the search result in a table format, click on the table icon available on the bottom left corner.

To open a specific requisition, click on the menu of that record, and click on view/fetch & view.

You can also click on the expand icon against any item on the search result screen to view the requisition header details such as requisition number, quantities, start date, status, etc.

The system will fetch all the data related to the selected requisition. The requisition details are shown either right to the search result screen or in a separate screen, depending on the device size.

Scroll left, right, up, down to view all the details. The requisition line and details are shown in a separate tab. The default configuration shows fields in various functional groups such as

  • Finance
  • Entity
  • Reference
  • Data
  • Control
  • Etc

You can configure the application to show which fields should be shown under which group. You can also create new groups as per your business requirements.
