Purchase requisition number different from PO number
It would be good if staff on site could raise a purchase requisition, but the purchase order number is not generated until the actual requisition has been approved. Staff are raising the requisitions and supplying the PO number to the supplier before the PO has actually been approved.
That is very true. Would it be possible that the requisition number is not visible when entering a purchase requisition, you can only physically see the PO number if you do a PO enquiry? Its more our staff giving the PO requisition number to the supplier before it's been approved. We need to stop this somehow.
Hi there,
Thanks for the suggestion. Could you help me understand how a different
number would solve this problem? ie if you have a different number for the
requisition, staff might be giving the requisition number to the supplier
also before the PO is approved? ie the supplier doesn't know if it is a PO
number of a Requisition number?
Let me know your thinking.
cheers
Andrew
