Hi All ,

Is it not possible to create the RFQ when the purchase requisition is created withe procurement category only ?

( As we know that PR can be created against Procurement category and Item code is blank )

Share your thoughts .

I would want a quote from my supplier against a specific item, if it was generic I would have a generic item for this, but it will give you issues when you order it later as you would then use a different item. I have no issue with this as it seems logical, but of course there will be businesses that want this, but then it is a customization.

Thanks Adam for reply ,

Why AX has the option Purchase requisition can be created against the procurement category ?

What would be business scenario to the purchase requisition against the Procurement category ?

Thanks in advance.

To allow end users who are not familiar with the exact item numbers to request a generic part, purchasing then define this into a real item through the requisition process.

Could you tell me at which stage and which document user can change generic to exact item number ?

Thanks in advance.

It will depend upon the requisition to purchase process of the business.

Not really because it depends upon you mapping the process your customer wants to what AX can do.
