Commodity

The Commodity tab on the RQ Transaction Type provides all commodities associated with the transaction and the associated details for requesting this item or service. Commodity line information appears within the commodity groups that were established.

The following field is required:

Line Type

The following fields are required if the Line Type is Item:

Quantity
Unit
Unit Price

The following field is required if the Line Type is Service:

Contract Amount

The following fields are required if the Line Type is Discount:

List Price
Discounted Unit Price

The following field is required if the Line Type is Catalog:

Catalog

The following fields are required if the Line Type is Discount:

Discount To

The Line Type of Cost Plus is not allowed on the RQ Transaction Type.

If Line Type is Not Specified

If Line Type is Not Specified either Item Information (Quantity, Unit, Unit Price) or Service Information (Contact Amount, Service From, Service To) fields are required.
If the RQ Transaction Type transaction is generated with the Line Type of Not Specified and the RQ is copied forward to the PO Transaction Type transactions, the Item or Service Information entered on the RQ is inferred to the same fields on the PO. If the RQ Transaction Type is generated with the Line Type of Not Specified, the Item or Service Information is inferred to the PO Transaction Type transactions on copy forward. The existing logic remains the same, that is, if the Line Type on PRDOC is set to Item then both lines on the PO Transaction Type default to the Line Type of Item.

If the Enforce Transaction Department Validation field on the Transaction Control (DCTRL) page is selected, the values entered in the following fields are validated against the Transaction Department to verify that the value entered is authorized for that specific Transaction Department:

External Warehouse
Accounting Profile
Comm Ref Dept
Shipping Location
Billing Location

If Maximo is being integrated, then the Commodity Line Description field is required if the Line Type is Service. If the Line Type is Service, then the selected Commodity Code must be marked as an External Service on the Commodity table. If Maximo is being integrated, and the Line Type is Item, then the External Item ID field is required.

The following fields are conditionally required, based on site specific setup on the Procurement Transaction Control (PRDOC) table:

Commodity Line Description

The External Item ID field is required if the External Warehouse field is populated. The External Item ID field can only be populated if the Line Type is Item, and the Source System field on the Item table for the selected External Item is Maximo.

The Environmentally Preferred Purchase (EPP) section is only available when the ENABLE_EPP parameter is set to Yes on the Application Parameter (APPCTRL) table. This section can be used to define:

EPP Attributes
EPP Product

If the Allow Extended Description Edit flag on the Procurement Transaction Control (PRDOC) page is checked, editing is allowed on the Extended Description field on the subsequent versions of the transaction.
