Consolidate Requests Wizard - Origin
The Item Selection window, part of the Consolidate Requests Creation wizard, contains a column that shows the Origin of the purchase requests.
For Sales Orders - Request to Purchase:
The origin will be SOP, with the sales order number, for sales orders placed for items that can be flagged for "back-to-back" purchasing.
For these requests, the arrow button at the head of the Customer code column will open the Sales Order enquiry window showing the sales order to which the purchase request relates if the sales order remains outstanding.
If the enquiry window does not display any orders, this is probably because the one you have selected has been completed. This is a quick way to determine which orders have been filled and perhaps do not now require a "back-to-back" purchase order to be raised.
Once the enquiry window has opened, you can switch to the List Definition view to see exactly what search criteria has been entered.
For all orders, this will be the Order Account Code and the Order No.
The filter will be set to show outstanding orders, pro formas, estimates, progress claims, credit notes and works orders.
To find out if the sales order for which the purchase request was raised has been completed, change the filter to show completed orders and refresh the list.
For Works Orders - Request to Purchase:
The origin will be WO, with the works order number, for requests created for items required for Works Orders that can be flagged for "back-to-back" purchasing.
For Purchase Requests:
The origin will be RTP, with the purchase request number, for requests placed using the Request to Purchase window.
For Stock Recommended Levels:
The origin will be STK for requests generated by the system because you have selected to create purchase orders for Stock Recommended Levels. when opening the Consolidate Requests wizard.
The rules for creating purchase orders based on Stock Recommended Levels are selected on the Stock tab of the Creation Rules window.
