Purchase request scope
Identify the demand, specification, allocation and items actually needing purchase.
Resolve two requests for the same purchasing demand
Confirm demand identity before consolidating quantities.
Hold a purchase request with an incomplete item specification
Keep a missing requirement separate from a supplier’s assumed equivalent.
Split a purchase request across internal allocation codes
Reconcile each requested unit to one approved allocation without changing item quantity.
Withdraw one request from a consolidated draft purchase
Remove only withdrawn demand while preserving other requests and any issued-order boundary.
Exclude confirmed customer-supplied items from a purchase request
Reduce purchasing demand only when the supplied quantity and required suitability are evidenced.
