Creation of a Purchase requisition
In order to be able to create a Purchase requisition from FUTURA Engineering, the following mandatory criteria must be maintained:
An items list has been created under the tab "Items list” and/or a limit has been maintained
The costs (order value of the items list and/or limit) are fully assigned to the account
The fields Material Group, Delivery date, Purchasing organization, Company code, Purchasing group, and Plant are filled in
If these mandatory fields are filled in, you can use the "Purchase requisition" button above the tabs to create an SAP requisition for the requirement.
Click on the "Purchase requisition" button and then on the SAP icon on the right side of the line. If you have several purchase order items (loose), you can use the parent button "Create / update Purchase requisition", which creates a Purchase requisition for all items.

requester and SAP vendor number
When the Purchase requisition is created from FUTURA Engineering , the user name is passed on to the SAP system and entered as a "requester" to that Purchase requisition. This allows you to determine in the SAP system which employees in your organization generated the corresponding Purchase requisition. This information is taken into account whenever a Purchase requisition is created.

The SAP vendor numbers of the correspondingly selected suppliers are also sent to the SAP system. These are entered in SAP in the "Desired vendor" column of the Purchase requisition. This is taken into account both in the "requisitions" transaction, in which an individual order can be triggered across several purchase order lines (lots in the LV) and to different suppliers, and in the triggering of a order from a request that is only addressed to a specific supplier.

Inheritance of the fields when using lots in the items list (Multiple order items)
If you use lots in your requisition, you can automatically inherit the data from one lot to another for selected fields. This gives you the opportunity to accelerate the maintenance of the data in the system. You can also inherit set limit values and account assignment data within the same process.
To do this, click on the button with the two floppy disks and then select which fields are to be inherited. An individual adaptation is still possible afterwards.
