Use this form to view or modify the details for the selected purchase requisition line item. For example, you can enter address and project data, respond to required questionnaires, and enter inventory and financial dimensions. The details that are available to view or modify in this form are determined by the requisition purpose.

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, the concept of a requisition purpose has been introduced in order to allow for more flexibility in how requisition demand can be fulfilled. When you create a requisition, you can assign it one of two purposes: consumption or replenishment. Depending on the purpose of the requisition, demand can be fulfilled by a purchase order, transfer order, production order, or kanban. For more information about requisition purposes and how they affect the requisition process, see About purchase requisitions.

Note

A purchase requisition in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 is equivalent to a requisition with a purpose of consumption in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
