RQ125

RQ125 - PO Generation

Run this program to perform the following.
- Convert approved requisitions for selected vendors into purchase orders
without buyer intervention.
- Select any released approved requisition that has not been reviewed by the
buyer for the selected vendor/purchase from.
- Create a PO Interface record. PO100 (PO Interface) will turn these records
into released or unreleased purchase orders.
- Optional. Create PO Interface records for any requisition line with the
Create PO flag set to Yes. The feature enables a buyer to enter a requisition
using RQ10.1 (Requisition) and bypass using RQ20.2 (Buyer Requisition Review)
to create a PO.
Note: The requisition line can be set up as a purchase requisition (that is,
a purchase order line can be created for the requisition line) regardless of
the item type. Do this by defining a requisition line for a requesting
location assigned a purchase override order on PO17.1 (Purchase Override
Entry). The requisition line becomes available for processing in RQ125 when
the requisition is released and is approved by selecting either the Vendor or
the Zip Create Purchase Order field in RQ125.
