Requisition description and notes lines cannot be assigned to buyers and will not appear in Buyer Assignment Entry. This is so that all buyers have the ability to access detail lines that are common to a requisition. Requisitions will be displayed in priority order where 'Ø' is the highest priority and '9' the lowest. The priority of each requisition displays under the column marked P at the right of your screen. Requisitions with the same priority will be displayed in order of oldest to most recent date entered or required depending on requisition profile # 10 - sort by date entered or date required. Requisitions will be visually separated in the list by a horizontal dashed line.
