Stock Request (SRQ) Transaction Type

The Stock Requisition (SRQ) transaction requests items stocked in inventory. The SRQ allows you to reserve quantities of stock items from an on-hand supply for later delivery.  If the warehouse allows backorders, the Stock Requisition (SRQ) transaction backorders any items that are not immediately available. The SRQ is recorded in the system as a pre-encumbrance. An error will occur upon Submit if any of the adjustments to the quantities creates a negative amount in the Inventory Inquiry (INVNQ) table.

Actions specific to this transaction type may be controlled by the Component Line Limiting feature of the application. To see information about those transaction actions of this transaction type that may be controlled and recourses to take if a limit error is issued, refer to the "Line Number Limitations" topic in the Transactions User Guide.

The Stock Requisition for External Customer (SRQE) transaction requests items stocked in inventory for external customers. The SRQE allows you to reserve quantities of stock items from an on-hand supply for later delivery. If the warehouse allows backorders, the Stock Requisition (SRQE) transaction backorders any items that are not immediately available. The SRQE is recorded in the system as a pre-encumbrance.

The Stock Requisition transactions allow you to reserve quantities of stock items from an on-hand supply for later delivery. If the warehouse allows backorders, this transaction backorders any items that are not immediately available. The difference between the two transactions is that the SRQE allows you to request items stocked in Inventory for external customers.

The Stock Requisition transactions can have multiple Commodity Lines and each Commodity Line can have multiple Accounting Lines. SRQ/SRQE transactions, on submit, reserve the Requested Quantity on the Inventory Table. Any amount of stock that cannot be reserved due to insufficient inventory is marked as backordered, provided the Backordering option is selected on the Warehouse Table for the entered Warehouse. If the Backordering option is not selected and the Requested Quantity is greater than the Available Quantity, then the SRQ/SRQE transaction is rejected.  If the item being reserved has a backordered quantity greater than zero, all items on the SRQ/SRQE are placed on backorder even if an Available Quantity exists in Inventory.

Overridable errors are issued if the Requested Quantity is less than the Minimum Issue Quantity or greater than the Maximum Issue Quantity specified on the Inventory Table for the entered Stock Item.

A Ship Whole indicator can be selected on the Stock Requisition. This marks the Requisition for the goods to be sent only if all items on it have been reserved. If the Available Quantities are insufficient to reserve the entire requested quantity and the Ship Whole indicator on the Stock Requisition is not selected, the SRQ/SRQE transaction reserves the Available Quantity and backorders the balance. If the Ship Whole indicator is selected, none of the requested quantity of stock items is reserved. All items are backordered if the specified warehouse allows backorders.

SRQ/SRQE transactions can be processed for Parent Stock Items as well as non-parent Stock Items. When the entered Stock Item is a parent Stock Item, the SRQ/SRQE transaction updates Reserved and Backordered buckets of both the Parent Stock Item as well as the Child Stock Item records.
