Inquiring on an Inventory Requisition

A warehouse manger can also inquire on inventory requisitions justn like regular requisitions. Inventory requisition inquiry can be helpful in tasks such as verifying order information and determining order status. You may also use inquiry screens to monitor conversions from inventory requisitions to purchase orders.

There are five screens in the Purchasing module that allow you to view the status of your inventory requisition. Recall from the Requisitioning and Approval CBT and Handbook that they are as follows:
 

1.  The Requisition Inquiry Selection (RQI) screen displays all requisition lines for a particular buy entity and requester; item number and requisition status can also be designated to narrow the list. 
2. The Requisition Inquiry (RI1) screen summarizes the basic order line information entered on the Requisition Line (RQ1) screen, including item ordered, quantity ordered, item description, ship-to description and warehouse number. 

Note: For inventory requisitions, the Requisition Inquiry (RI1) screen denotes maximum exceptions with an asterisk (*) next to the quantity of the item ordered in the QUANTITY REQUIRED SKU field. The asterisk indicates that this item produced a maximum exception.
3. The Requisition Inquiry (RI2) screen provides additional information about a specific order line, including account distribution, ordering warehouse and preferred stocking location.
4. The Requisition Comments Inquiry (RCI) screen accesses requisition header and line comments entered on the Requisition Header and Line Comments (RCM) screen.
5. The Split Requisition Inquiry (SRI) screen shows purchase order and vendor information once a buyer has sourced a requisition line to a vendor.
Note: These screens work in exactly the same manner for both regular and inventory requisition inquiry with one exception. When accessing inventory requisitions for a specific item on the Requisition Inquiry Selection (RQI) screen, you must enter STCK in the catalog no. field. Recall that this is currently the catalog number for all inventory stock items.

Since the inquiry process is covered in the Requisition and Approval CBT and Handbook, it will not be repeated here. For a refresher on requisition inquiry, refer to the following step-by-steps:
