One requisition, several vendors

Choose a flow

Situation

A PR has lines bought from different vendors.

Recommendation

Convert the PR to POs line by line; each PO consumes exactly the PR line quantity.

Why

PR lines have consumption counters so POs cannot exceed the requisition. PR→RFQ and PR→PO share the same source lock so a PR never yields duplicates. A PO belongs to one purchasing category.

Steps

  1. Open the approved PR.
  2. Pick lines for the first vendor and create a PO.
  3. Repeat for other vendors.
  4. Check what remains on the PR.

Avoid

  • Copy the PR into several new PRs.
