The requisition nodes are defined on the Nodes and Templates screen. To define a new node structure, first you must create a master node. Click the Create Requisition Master Node button in the Requisition Node block.

The Create Requisition Master Nodes window opens. Enter the node name in the Node field, the sequence in the 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.

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

To define the child-nodes for the next level(s) of the requisition hierarchy, click the master node, and select Create Requisition Child Nodes button in the Requisition Node block.

The Create Requisition Child Nodes screen opens. Enter the node name in the Node field, the sequence in the Seq field, and the node descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields.

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

The following image 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 Requisition 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.
