Requisition Worksheet — cost allocation and alternate vendors

The Requisition Worksheet is extended with DXSteel fields for profile/quality-driven item selection, weight/length conversion, and line-level costs via a separate table. Copy Requisition Lines can clone selected lines to alternate vendors.

Workflow

  1. Generate requisition lines: from MRP (Calculate Plan) or manually. For drop shipments / special orders: from Get Sales Quotes.

  2. Enrich: set vendor, quantities (pieces/weight/length), profile + quality.

  3. Allocate costs: open Requisition Line Costs to add freight, services, coverage items.

  4. Bulk edit: select multiple lines → Edit Multiple Lines to batch-update vendor / due date / location.

  5. Distribute: Copy Lines report to copy to single or all alternate vendors.

  6. Generate PO: Carry Out Action Messages.

Key fields — Requisition Line (DXSteel)

Field

Purpose

Item Profile Code + Quality Code

Determine which item/variant gets found.

Quantity Pieces

Leading quantity. Weight and length are computed from the profile.

Quantity Weight (kg) / Length (m)

Read-only derived.

Doc. Unit of Measure Code

UoM printed on the document.

Variable Weight / Extra Length

Tolerances for deviation and extra length.

Sales Order No. / Line No.

Link back to original sales line on drop ship.

Purchasing Code

Drop Shipment / Special Order flag.

Costs Present + Cost Total Amount

Derived: do line costs exist and their sum.

Factboxes

  • Alternate Vendors — Item Vendor + Purchase Group Vendors for this item.

  • Vendor Purch. Info — last invoice price, last quote, standard cost.

Best practices

For steel items: let Weight and Length auto-compute. Manual editing is discouraged — DXSteel derives them from the Item Profile.

Schedule Calculate Reorder-Point Parameters monthly to keep reorder parameters in sync.

Allocate costs AFTER setting the vendor: cost records need the vendor for currency and automatic costs.

  • Get Sales Quotes — pulls open quote lines for drop shipment.

  • Copy Requisition Lines — copy selection to all alternate vendors.

  • Calculate Reorder-Point Parameters — recomputes reorder parameters.
