v4.5 PO Material Requisitions - What is the value of this function? Have a client asking about it and I just don't see a reason for using it. What do you do with it once you have created it? How do you get rid of it?

A Material Requisition is used for when you receive in consumables as inventory or you use inventory other than selling it and you need to relieve inventory. Say engineering wants to use some product in testing and the items will not be coming back into stock. Stuff like that.

Or your salesmen are taking product out as samples.

So it really isn't a Purchase requisition........

Or you have Job Cost and you want to take something out of Inventory and assign the cost to an active job.

Really? I thought you had to do the issues from Inventory Transaction Entry into Job Cost. Learn something new every day.

@jeffschwenk, We have a medical clinic using it. Departments use requisitions to notify purchasing of their needs. Purchasing either fills the requisitions from inventory or uses them to help create appropriate Purchase Orders. I sent you a document I made out of various sage information that I used to help get them setup.
