Purchase Request

Purchase Request is a document that authorizes a purchaser to make a purchase. For either productive or unproductive materials, the purchase request is required for a production program, a project being developed, or the general company supply. The document contains what must be purchased, the amount, the delivery deadline, the delivery location, and, in some special cases, the probable suppliers.

At first, any user in the company can generate Purchase Requests if there are no restrictions.

The Purchase Request is the initial process of the purchase and can be generated:


manually.



by controlling economic lot and point of order.



by the production order need.



by the request for products at the warehouse.


Next to each purchase request, there is an indication about its classification according to the option Caption, available in the menu.

 


Note:

Through the parameter MV_PMSCBLQ, you can block changes and exclusions of Purchase Requests generated via Planning routine.

The parameter MV_RATDUPL allows row duplicity of the apportionment by cost center of the Purchase Request, from Purchase Orders and Inflow Document.

Parameter MV_SCSLDBL allows to use the Estimated Qty. field only when the purchase order is released.
