If you have Oracle iProcurement installed, note that, in addition to standard purchase requisitions, iProcurement requisitions include emergency requisitions and requisitions that use a procurement card for the purchase. You can use the PO Create Documents workflow or AutoCreate to create documents from iProcurement requisitions.
An emergency requisition is created in Oracle iProcurement only, by requesters who can order from a supplier directly. Emergency requisitions have a purchase order number reserved for them in advance.
After the emergency requisition is entered in iProcurement, the PO Create Documents workflow creates a standard purchase order from the approved requisition lines automatically, if you use the workflow. If you don't, you can use AutoCreate.
You can view emergency requisition lines in the AutoCreate Documents folder window by displaying the hidden field Emergency PO Number. Or enter an Emergency PO Number in the Find Requisition Lines window.
Except for the following points, emergency requisition lines are autocreated like any other requisition line:
Emergency requisition lines on a single purchase order must have the same Emergency PO Number.
You can put emergency and non-emergency requisition lines on the same purchase order, but Purchasing will give you a warning message when you do.
You can create only standard purchase orders from emergency requisition lines.
Emergency requisitions, and the purchase orders created from them, go through the same approval process as other documents (unless you modify the approval workflow to handle them differently).
Requisition lines that use a corporate (or procurement) credit card for the purchase are created in iProcurement only.
After a procurement card requisition is entered in iProcurement, the PO Create Documents workflow a creates a standard purchase order or release from the approved requisition lines automatically, if you use the workflow. If you don't, you can use AutoCreate.
In the AutoCreate Documents folder window, you can view requisition lines that use a corporate credit card by displaying the P-Card hidden field.
Note the following AutoCreate criteria for procurement card purchase orders and releases:
You cannot combine requisition lines that use procurement card information with other requisition lines on the same document.
Procurement card lines on a single document must have the same P-Card number, supplier, and supplier site.
