The requisition nodes are defined on the R.10.41 Nodes and Templates screen. To define a new node structure, first you must create a master node. Select R.10.48 Create Req Master Node from the fastcall.

The R.10.48 Create Req Master Nodes screen opens. Enter the node name in the Node field, the sequence in the Order Seq field, and the node descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields.

The order sequence controls the display order of the nodes in the structure and the order in which the MTO job generates the associated requisitions. The node name and description can be used for the automatic requisition name creation, so it is advisable to consider these carefully.

The Balance Requisition indicator shows whether this node is used for Balance MTO types to create balance requisitions. For more information, see Requisition Balance.

Click the Save button to save the new master node. Proceed in the same way for the other master nodes.

To define the sub-nodes for the next level(s) of the requisition hierarchy, click the master node and select R.10.49 Create Req Nodes from the fastcall.

The R.10.49 Create Req Nodes screen opens. Enter the node name in the Node field, the sequence in the Order Seq field, and the node descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields.

The Balance Requisition indicator shows whether this node is used for Balance MTO types to create balance requisitions. For more information, see Requisition Balance.

Click the Save button to save the new req node. Proceed in the same way for the other requisition nodes.

SHARED Tip To create multiple sub-nodes under the same master node (or sub-node) without closing the screen, use the New Record button after saving the previous node.

The picture below shows an example of a requisition node structure for the piping discipline.

  • The last node in the sequence should be defined to catch all material that is not categorized or grouped by the preceding requisition definitions. As such, the uncategorized data is highlighted. For more information, refer to the templates.

  • Although there can be many levels of sub-nodes, you should not define too many levels so that the requisitions are organized and easier to find.
