Use the Create purchase requirements for equipment process to calculate the equipment to be ordered in a particular period.
The calculated purchase requirement is available in the Transaction files folder of the Purchase module. A purchase requirement is not binding. It is up to you to decide which items listed on the requirement you actually want to purchase.
Use selection data to specify the range for which you want to calculate the purchase requirement. You can select equipment, sales orders, sales offers, production orders, or production files.
When creating purchase requirements, you can choose to delete any purchase requirements already present in the Transaction files folder of the Purchase module. Indicate whether you want to do so, and if so, whether you want to delete only your own purchase requirements, or also purchase requirements belonging to other users.
If you select the Including authorized purchase requirements check box, also authorized purchase requirements will be deleted. Leave the check box empty if you do not want to touch any authorized purchase requirements.
If you select the Only purchase requirements in range check box, purchase requirements will be deleted only within the selected range for which you will create new purchase requirements during the current process.
Note: You can change, process or delete another user's lines only if you have rights to do so. If these rights have not been assigned to your user name, you can only change, process or delete your own lines.
