Shared Applications - Maintain Item Quotation


Theseapplications are common to the requisition, order and goods received input applications although field attributes may differ depending on the type of document processed. These applications are normally not directly accessible from a menu but from related Pop Up Menus on fields in the Requisition, Order or Goods Received options. The ITS philosophy is that the user should be able to enter a request or order on the Requisition or Order options; should the user however require additional functionality the functionality is available and directly accessible from the record on a second or third level.


The purpose of the screen is to enter item quotations obtained from suppliers as required by the institution. A user must first create or query a document in Block 1 of the requisition to access the item quotations from the creditor field. The screen can also be accessed from the creditor field in the buyer module screen {FPMO1-3}.

Add and Renew Quotations

General

The purpose of the screen is to update item quotations on general items where unit price information on general items is maintained. Institutions using general items can maintain item unit prices per item and creditors in the option {FPMM-3b2}. If the field Require Quotations on the general item is set to = 'N' the creditor unit price information on a general item may be used and the unit price information will default if the item is requested on a requisition. The number of quotes defaulting on a general item request may be limited by the system operational definition code AU "Maximum Priority" {FCSM-1b2} as only item/creditor unit price records will default where the priority on the item/creditor unit price record is less than or equal to the maximum priority system operational definition. If the price information has changed between the time the unit price defaulted and the date the buyer checks the quotations on the requisition, the user/buyer can use this option to update the prices from the item definition. If the creditor quote did not default because the priority on the creditor item record was greater than the maximum priority code, the user can add the item/creditor unit price information as a quote on the requisition.
