Create Purchase Request – A Summary of the Activity

This activity allows you to create a Purchase Request (PR). A Purchase Request is a document that initiates the process of procuring materials from the suppliers. The PR can be created for purchasable items defined in the “Item” component and non-codified items.

The PR is classified into General, Capital and Drop Ship. General PR can be raised to buy items of any type except capital. The capital PR is raised for items of type that can be capitalized such as capital, spares, component and tools and the drop ship PR is raised for those items which needs to be shipped directly by the supplier to the customers required location.
