Incrementing Requisition Number Sets

REQUISITIONS AND APPROVAL > Setup system > Incrementing number sets > Requisition number

This utility is used to configure auto-incrementing (system-assigned) requisition numbers and related settings.

Requisition numbers can also be manually input when creating new Purchase Requisitions, if enabled with the applicable setting, below.

For Purchase Requisitions, you can optionally set up multiple “number sets”, each with unique numbering. For example, you might have a separate sequence of req numbers for each buyer, for each division, for different types of orders, etc.

All other types of requisitions use Number Set “A” only and do not allow manual entry of numbers.
