Key points

  • Unlike the standard Requisition Worksheet, the Recurring Requisition Worksheet retains lines after generating purchase orders for reuse
  • Order dates automatically advance by the configured recurring frequency each time purchase orders are created
  • The recurring method can be set to ‘Fixed’ to maintain the same quantity or ‘Variable’ to reset quantity to zero after ordering
  • Only the ‘Purchase’ replenishment system is supported in the Recurring Requisition Worksheet, unlike the standard worksheet which allows transfers or assembly options
  • Setup requires creating a Recurring template in the Requisition Worksheet Template page and then using named worksheets within it

Quotes

  • “This can prove a real time saver if you make regular purchases for certain items or services each month” (Directly demonstrates the business value of reduced manual work and improved ordering efficiency)
