If you select the option to create an agreement based on an engineering requisition, the box displayed below opens.
Select the requisition that is to be the basis of the new agreement from the LOV in the Engineering Requisition field.
If you have the ASSIGN BUYER privilege granted, all requisitions are available for selection (apart from the additional restrictions described below). If you only have the BUYER granted, you can only query for those requisitions to which you are assigned as buyer.
By default, the Inquired Reqs check box is not marked, which means that only those requisitions are available for selection that
-
may be used for purchasing (Purchase indicator marked),
-
have not been inquired completely,
-
have not been purchased completely,
-
do not have any line item with a negative quantity released to procurement (and not already placed on any other agreement).
If this check box is selected, requisitions that have been inquired completely but not purchased completely are also available.
The result of the created agreement is not affected by the setting of this check box. If the system finds any inquired line items that have not been purchased so far, a message box will appear and ask you whether you want to place the inquired line items on the agreement as well or not. If you select the inquired line items, too, these line items will be ignored later on in case an agreement is created from the corresponding bid evaluation.
The number of available requisitions can further be restricted by project default ZP_CHK_TE. If it is set to Y, you can only query for requisitions that do not require a technical evaluation or that have already passed this technical evaluation. If this project default is set to N (default), you can create an agreement directly for a requisition that requires a technical evaluation. This technical evaluation has to then be performed later on P.50.07.
The selected requisition is displayed with its name (number) in the Engineering Requisition field, the supplement in the Suppl field, and the origin in the Origin field. The Purchase indicator shows if the requisition line items can be used for both purchasing and inquiries (indicator selected) or only for inquiries (not selected).
When you select the Ignore Negative Quantities check box, you can query for requisitions that contain line items with a negative quantity. When the agreement is created, only the lines with positive quantities are taken into account. The remaining lines with negative quantities must be processed by creating agreement supplements via the P.30.01 screen.
You can click the Back button to go back to the previous box to select another kind of agreement. To cancel the agreement creation, click Cancel.
To go ahead with the agreement creation based on the selected engineering requisition, click the Continue button to open Window 4. You can find the description of Window 4 in Based on Quote Summary.
