A purchase requisition supplement can be used to directly update a PO. This normally is the case if only quantities have been changed or bulk material is added, which is not to be inquired again. For more information, see below Create PO or PO Supplement Directly from PR Supplement.

If items were added to a purchase requisition supplement, which must be inquired, an inquiry process can be started. In this case, Smart Materials is able to automatically evaluate if a line item is already assigned to a PO (which means, it must not be inquired again) or not.

This workflow is often used for items that occur after the normal inquiry phase for a project is finished, and no prices and conditions are available.

This workflow can also be used as the normal workflow during the inquiry phase of a project. Then the EPC decides not to differentiate between purchase and inquiry only requisitions, which means all released requisitions are purchase requisitions and inquiry only requisitions do not exist.
