If you create similar purchase requisitions or request the same items regularly, you can copy an existing purchase requisition so that you do not have to re-enter all the information. You can still modify information in the copied purchase requisition before you submit it for approval.
Note
You can copy only from purchase requisitions for which you are the preparer. In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, the requisition that you copy to must have the same requisition purpose as the requisition that you copy from. For more information about requisition purposes, see About purchase requisitions (Enterprise Portal).
Most of the information in the header of the existing purchase requisition will be copied to the new purchase requisition. The requested date of the new requisition is today’s date, and you are the preparer.
If the requisition purpose is consumption and if you copy lines that reference an item number in Microsoft Dynamics AX, then the prices, discounts, and line charges are recalculated based on the latest master data and trade and purchasing agreements. If you copy lines that do not reference an item number in Microsoft Dynamics AX, then the prices, discounts, and charges are copied directly from the purchase requisition lines. If the requisition purpose is replenishment, the site and warehouse are not copied to the new requisition.
Click Procurement on the top link bar. On the Quick Launch, click Purchase requisitions, and then click Purchase requisitions prepared by me to view the requisitions that you have permission to copy from.
Select the purchase requisition to copy. On the Action Pane, click Copy.
Note
When the requisition purpose is consumption, only internal catalog items and non-catalog items are copied. To add products from an external catalog, you must add them manually. When the requisition purpose is replenishment, only products that are stocked and released to the specified legal entity are available.
On the Edit purchase requisition page, modify the information, as necessary, in the new purchase requisition.
Click Save and close, and then you can submit the purchase requisition to the workflow system. For more information about how to create purchase requisitions, see Create and maintain purchase requisitions.
