The Requisition Cross Reference page shows the cross reference between the requisitions and the Inquiries and the Agreements pages. This page can only be used for viewing the data i.e. it is a Read-Only page.
An engineering requisition is a list of line items with material (and quantities) of usually the same type. They can be created automatically by a procedure (the MTO), which calculates the material requirements from the BOM, or manually. If the engineering requisition has been created by the MTO, it is derived from a requisition template, which defines the 'structure' and the material group of the material placed in the engineering requisition. On manually created engineering requisitions there is no logic for position and sub-position. When you click on the name of the requisition in the Engineering Requisition cell, the Maintain Requisition page is displayed.
To understand this page, you need to know the following:

If all attachments of the current supplement have already been given to procurement with the same revision with one of the previous supplements the value "0" is displayed. |

The Properties button on this page opens the Attached Properties page and the Outstanding Lines button is only open for requisitions that are to be used for purchasing. On clicking the button, you are directed to the Outstanding Lines page, where you can see all the line items of the requisition that have not been purchased at all or that have not been purchased completely so far.
To understand the Outstanding Line page, you need to know the following:
Cell |
Description |
---|---|
Engineering requisitions |
Indicates the name (code, number) of the requisition. The name of the engineering requisition can be any valid string (in uppercase letters, not exceeding 50 characters). The name must be unique in combination with the supplement, purchase indicator and origin within a project. |
Supplement |
Indicates the supplement number of the engineering requisition. The first version of the engineering requisition has always supplement 0 (zero). The supplement number is part of the unique key and is in range of 0 to 99. When an MTO creates a new engineering requisition the procedure looks for existing supplements and creates the engineering requisition with the next free supplement number. |
Purchase |
Indicates whether the line items of this engineering requisition can be used for both purchasing and inquiries or only for inquiries. |
Origin |
Indicates the code for engineering requisitions and agreements that represents whose office is responsible for that information. |
Query for |
This radio group helps you filter the number of records to be displayed.
The data is automatically re-queried when changing the radio group. |
Pos |
Line item number (or position) of the engineering requisition. |
Sub |
Sub line item (or sub position) of the engineering requisition. Within one position material with the same ident but different group-by criteria are placed on different sub positions. |
Released Quantity |
Quantity engineering has released to procurement. |
Outstanding Quantity |
Defines the quantity that is still to be purchased. In most cases this quantity is identical to the released quantity. But if you have split a quantity onto several orders or changed the quantity to be found on an order this quantity differs from the quantity originally released to procurement. |
Quantity Unit |
Defines the unit of the quantity released to procurement. |
Commodity Code |
Defines the commodity code for the material on this line item. |
Ident code |
Defines the ident code for the ident placed on this line item. If ident deviation exists, then the ident is shown in red. |
Size1 |
Defines the size one (Input 1) of the ident on this line item. |
Size2 |
Defines the size two (Input 2) of the ident of this line item. |
Tag Number |
Defines the tag number for a specific ident. The tag number is filled by the MTO only if the related checkbox is checked before the MTO is started. In this case, each tag number is placed on a separate position on the engineering requisition. Otherwise this field is filled with '0'. |
Ident Short Description |
This derived by calling the CIP-procedure ident_desc (ident, nls). It is a non-database field. You always see the actual description of the ident that is on the requisition line item in this cell. |
Ident Deviation |
Indicates whether an ident deviation has occurred for the requisition line item, i.e., if the property that has been assigned to project default ZP_DEVATTR has been assigned to the requisition line item, the value of this property is shown here because this value is assumed to be the new correct ident short description. |
