The requisition numbers can be assigned automatically by the system when entering or copying requisitions using the Requisitions option. When entering or copying a requisition, leave the Requisition Number field blank to have the system automatically assign the next available requisition number once the requisition is saved.
How the requisition number is assigned:
If having the system assign the requisition number, the system will assign the number as follows:
First, if the requisition is tied to a ship to address with a defined requisition prefix, the number will be incremented from the most recently used requisition number with that prefix.
Second, if a requisition prefix was defined in the Accounts Payable System File, the number will be incremented from the most recently used requisition number with that prefix.
Otherwise, the number will be incremented from the most recently used requisition number.
Note: If the Purchase Order Number Same as Requisition Number field is selected in the Accounts Payable System File, a requisition number cannot be used if it matches a purchase order number that already exists.
