Modifying Requisition Lines
Use the Modify Lines window to split an existing requisition line into multiple requisition lines that represent the same or different items. For example, if the requisition line quantity is so large that a single supplier cannot fill the entire order by the need-by date, then you need to fill this order from more than one supplier. On the other hand, if you have a requisition line item that contains parts that you want to order as unique items, you can explode the requisition line into several lines. After you modify a requisition line, you cannot modify the new requisition line(s) again.
Note: You cannot modify requisition lines for outside processing items and when you are using encumbrance accounting or budgetary control.
To modify requisition lines:
2. Enter as many new lines as you need to represent the original requisition line. Purchasing automatically creates new distribution lines and prorates quantities for the new distributions from the original requisition line distributions. Except that you cannot update destination information (destination type, organization, location, requestor, and subinventory), the entry of information in the Lines, Source Details, Details, and Currency alternative regions is identical to entry of this information in the Requisitions window. See: Entering Requisition Lines.
To cancel your entries:
- Select Cancel to cancel your entries and return to the AutoCreate Documents window.
To save your work:
- Select OK to save your work and return to the AutoCreate Documents window, where Purchasing displays the new requisition lines that are now available for placement on a purchase order or RFQ. These lines do not appear, however, if the new requisition lines do not meet your original search criteria. The original requisition line is no longer available for purchase order or RFQ placement, but your requestor can easily review the modification status of a requisition line in the View Requisitions window.
