Use the Modify Lines window to split an existing requisition line into multiple requisition lines that represent the same or different items. For example, if the requisition line quantity is so large that a single supplier cannot fill the entire order by the need-by date, then you need to fill this order from more than one supplier. On the other hand, if you have a requisition line item that contains parts that you want to order as unique items, you can explode the requisition line into several lines. These new requisition line(s) can then be modified as well.
Note: You cannot modify requisition lines with the following :
Items under Enterprise Asset Management control
Drop shipped orders
Oracle Services Procurement fixed price or temp labor line types
To modify requisition lines:
Navigate to the Modify Lines window by selecting Modify on the Tools menu in the AutoCreate Documents window. Purchasing displays the current requisition line in the Lines tabbed region.
Enter as many new lines as you need to represent the original requisition line. Purchasing automatically creates new distribution lines and prorates quantities for the new distributions from the original requisition line distributions. Except that you cannot update destination information (destination type, organization, location, requestor, and subinventory), the entry of information in the Lines, Source Details, Details, and Currency tabbed regions is identical to entry of this information in the Requisitions window. See: Entering Requisition Lines.
Note: You can only modify the quantity on outside processing requisition lines and the sum of the quantities on the new lines must match the quantity of the original line. You can only modify the quantity on encumbered requisition lines.
Note: If the profile option PO: Restrict Requisition Line Modify to Quantity Split is set to Yes you can only modify the quantity. See: Profile Options in Purchasing.
Note: Changing the supplier for a line on a requisition with supplier p-card information will remove the p-card number.
To cancel your entries:
Select Cancel to cancel your entries and return to the AutoCreate Documents window.
To save your work:
Select OK to save your work and return to the AutoCreate Documents window, where Purchasing displays the new requisition lines that are now available for placement on a purchase order or RFQ. These lines do not appear, however, if the new requisition lines do not meet your original search criteria. The original requisition line is no longer available for purchase order or RFQ placement, but your requestor can easily review the modification status of a requisition line in the Requisition Lines Summary window.
