Hi I am facing an issue where as a business policy, procurement team always requires a purchase requisition and authorization is carried out on the purchase requisition level.

Issue comes when I am running the Inter company flow.

I am using the “Int Purch Direct” and “Int Purch Trans” flows, upon releasing the customer order, pegged purchase order will be created instead of purchase requisition.

 

 

Is there a way that I can create a purchase requisition instead of purchase order?

I have set up the default supply option as requisition in the Inventory part planning data as well. 

 

But for Purch Order Direct and Purch Order Trans flows, Purcase requisitions are getting created.

 

Did anyone faced a similar situation?

 

Thanks,

Chamath

    Hi ​@Chamath Kuruppuarachchi,

    In intercompany scenarios using Int Purch Direct and Int Purch Trans, the supply is between predefined internal companies/sites using Internal Supplier and Internal Customer setup.

    Since the supplying company is already known and agreed, I believe the system treats this as a firm internal trade rather than a purchase request.Because of this, when the Customer Order is released, an internal Purchase Order is created directly, and the Purchase Requisition step is bypassed. Planning settings such as “Default Supply Option = Requisition” apply to external procurement and therefore do not influence intercompany supply flows.

      Hi ​@Chamath Kuruppuarachchi , Purchase Requestions are not created when you release the PO, if the Supply Site belongs to the same company. A PR will be created only for external suppliers or internal suppliers attached to a different company. Thanks.

        Hi ​@Ravinatha Ariyarathna in my scenario internal supplier is a different company. I also thought a purchase requisition would be created as still demand company should pay to the supply company as this is inter company purchasing. 

        Demand Site - COM 1

        Supply Site - COM 2

        Upon relasing the demand site customer order line with the supply code as “Int Purch Direct” a PO is creaed instead of a purchase requisition.

        I also assume PR creation is the correct behaviour. 

         

        Thanks,

        Hi ​@DUWELK thanks for the response I initially thought that could be the case. But I feel like still this needs to be treated as a normal purchase as these are inter company which ultimately demand site need to pay to supply site.

        So authorization on the PR level is ignored for Inter company purchases?

        Do you know whether this is the behavior of the standard application?

        Thanks,

        Chamath
