Hello!
Is there anyone who knows well the functioning of the recurring requisition worksheets in NAV? How is it different from the usual? I was looking for educational materials, but I found nothing about it. The client asks me about possibility of setting the requisition worksheet to generate/calculate automatically or the purchase orders that were calculated once were created cyclically later?
Thanks in advance!
The Recurring Requisition Worksheet is newer functionality, so there isn't much documentation on its purpose yet. In my humble opinion, there is not a good reason to use it. If you setup your Items properly with Reordering Policies and Planning Parameters, the Req. Worksheet should calculate everything you would need to buy, when you need to buy it, and who you prefer to buy it from. By setting a recurring component you are missing the point of a system calculated process.
The one thing I will note is the Calculate Plan process works for Items, but the Req. Worksheet has the ability to purchase G/L expensed purchases. You could use it to set recurring frequencies on G/L purchases that need to go through a PO process. If the PO isn't required, then you would use a recurring Journal and skip the req. worksheet all together.
