A buyer can create a Solicitation transaction in the following ways:
Copy Forward action - on the Requisition transaction that you want to reference.
New Transaction action - from the Solicitation State View on Procurement Management page for the procurement that contains the Requisition transaction to be referenced.
Expert Procurement Mode - on the Procurement Expert Mode (EXPRT) table; choose a Procurement Type or a Transaction Type and Transaction Code.
Transaction Catalog - directly on the Transaction Catalog, select the Create action and enter in the Transaction Code, Transaction Department and Transactions ID or check the Auto Numbering flag.
Copy action on the Transaction Catalog. This allows you to create a Solicitation from a Solicitation template that you have already created, or from a processed Solicitation transaction.
Both the Copy Forward and New Transaction action will bring forward all pertinent information from the Requisition transaction. The Expert Procurement Mode, Transaction Catalog and Copy action requires the buyer to enter the referenced requisition lines.
