Typographic Conventions in Navigation Paths

This course uses simplified navigation paths, such as the following example, to direct you through Oracle Applications. (N) Invoice > Entry > Invoice Batches Summary (M) Query > Find (B) Approve
This simplified path translates to the following:
1. 2. 3.
(N) From the Navigator window, select Invoice then Entry then Invoice Batches Summary. (M) From the menu, select Query then Find. (B) Click the Approve button.
Notations : (N) = Navigator (M) = Menu (T) = Tab (I) = Icon (H) = Hyperlink (B) = Button
Typographical Conventions in Help System Paths This course uses a navigation path convention to represent actions you perform to find pertinent information in the Oracle Applications Help System. The following help navigation path, for example (Help) General Ledger > Journals > Enter Journals represents the following sequence of actions: 1. 2. 3. 4. In the navigation frame of the help system window, expand the General Ledger entry. Under the General Ledger entry, expand Journals. Under Journals, select Enter Journals. Review the Enter Journals topic that appears in the document frame of the help system window.

On-line Requesting
Agenda Understand the impact of Oracle in terms of

purchasing from IIT A stores
On-line Requesting Oracle combines the MRI and RFP documents into
one form called Requisitions.
Existing IITA forms which are replaced are :

Requisitions from IITA stores (MRI) Returning Material to IITA stores (MRR) Searching for inventory items on-line
Requisitions for materials and services, in general,

are created in :
Completing an MRI on-line
Oracle Purchasing
This course is concerned only with the function of requesting items from IITA stores. How to complete Requests for Purchase (RFP) from external suppliers in Oracle Purchasing is covered in PUR_02 : Purchase Requisitions (RFP).

Purchase and Internal Requisition This describes the two main types of requisition in Oracle Purchasing. In both cases the user creates the requisition online, after electronic approval, it is picked up by the relevant store in the case of internal requisitions or by Materials Management & Logistics who will create the Purchase Order. Other requisitions that can come in are : Automatic re-ordering of stock by Oracle Inventory. A purchase requisition will be generated by the system for items in the stores that fall below their minimum limit. Conversion of Travel Authorization data into an actual requisition for charging purposes. Travel Cash Advance Requests
IITA Purchasing Approval Hierarchies If you, the requestor, have sufficient approval authority, you will be able to self-approve the requisition. If you do not have approval authority then you will need to select the appropriate approval group, such as MIS_MANAGER in the case of the MIS department. Before the go-live date you will be informed of the appropriate approval hierarchies you should use. In general, most budget officers will have a purchasing limit of $2,500, and unit managers will have a limit of $500. Note that individual cases may differ, depending on the requirements of your unit. Staff that have a limit of $0 are able to create requisitions in the system but cannot approve (sign) for them. Note that this amount reflects the maximum purchase that can be made on any single purchase, not a cumulative amount. Therefore I could order 5 items each worth $2000 each in the same day, providing I completed 5 separate purchase requisitions. If you exceed your limit on a purchase, the approval will be routed automatically to your approver. For example, if you wish to spend over $2,500 then it will be routed to your Divisional Director for approval.

DISTRIBUTION
Previously you were accustomed to simply entering the Cost Centre to charge for the purchase on your MRI form.With Oracle it WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to select the correct accounting code and cost centre. IITA Accounts in Oracle are for example :01.6784.1124.0000000.000000000 Each period (.) represents a separate segment of the account. Company (e.g. 01) This will always be 01 representing IITA. Account (e.g. 6784) This defines the account to be charged, in the case of the example 6784 is Other Supplies. The appropriate accounts to be used will be published in the near future. Cost Centre (e.g. 1124) You should be familiar with the code, although be aware that some of the cost centre codes will change. The example indicates the Ibadan Dormitory cost centre, therefore the line item would be charged to the account line Other Supplies-Ibadan Dormitory Cost Centre. Reserved This is reserved for Personal Accounts and Asset Tag numbers. In this case you would select 0000 for the cost centre. Donors This is used for reporting to Donors in a more efficient way. When the entry is 0000000 it means there is no donor information associated with the purchase. This field will be left as 0000000 for all requisitions.

Guided Practice Overview
Searching for Inventory Items

In this guided practice you will use Oracle Purchasing to:
Searching for Inventory Items By Item Number or Description
Search for Inventory Items

(N) Purchasing Requestor > Item Search
Create an internal requisition

This replaces the manual Material Requisition/Issue (MRI) process. (N) Purchasing Requestor > Requisitions
This guided practice is using the TEST instance of the Oracle database, this contains IITA data to help you gain familiarity with the system. Although the data that you will use is not the final production version, the majority of the functions and data are the same as what you will employ when using the completed IITA system. 1. Access and Login to Oracle Applications with : Username : IITA_REQUESTOR Password : WELCOME 2. Select the Purchasing Requestor responsibility.
Instructions 1. Before taking the time to complete our requisition, lets locate the item we wish to request and ensure it is stock. 2. (N) Purchasing Requestor > Item Search > Find Items 3. If prompted by the system, select the organization for which you wish to request from (e.g. WII Warehouses in Ibadan). Otherwise use the LOV to change to the correct organization. 4. Enter search criteria in either the Item Mask field OR the Description field to find the item for which you want to view the quantities on-hand from the stores 5. For example, enter the IITA stores description of the item, this is particularly useful when using wildcards (%), such as %screw% to search for all types of screw in the system. The description is not case sensitive. 6. Check the "Show Quantity" checkbox to see on-hand and available quantities. 7. Click on Find button. To perform a new search, close the window and click the Clear button.
Viewing the Search Results
Internal Requisitions (Header and Lines)
Viewing the Search Results
Internal Requisitions (Header and Lines)
(N) Purchasing Requestor > Requisitions

Instructions 1. The results of the search are then displayed. I can see that the search I typed in for a screw as brought up 3 different items, one being a screw driver and the other two are screws. 2. The item number we require is the 0000009, keep a note of this number. 3. Once you located all the items you wish to purchase you will navigate to the requisitions form. 4. (N) Purchasing Requestor > Requisitions Further Information about Items You can look at further information by using the Tools menu. 1. (M) > Tools > On-Hand Inquiry allows you to view detailed location information, such as which store, shelf location and lot information (expiry dates).
Instructions Complete the Header information for the internal requisition. 1. Number No action, the requisition number will be automatically generated by Oracle. 2. Type - Select "Internal Requisition" from the list of values. 3. Description - Enter a description of the requisition such as Screws required to attach shelf to wall. In this practice so we can identify each users request easily enter <Your Name> as the description, this will not be necessary in the live system. 4. Status, Preparer, and Total are system-generated fields. The Preparer will be REQUESTOR, Mr. IITA since this is the employee associated with the IITA_REQUESTOR username you logged in with. Complete a Line for each item you wish to order Items Region 1. Type (Line Type) Required Field. Choose "Goods" from the list of values. 2. Item - Choose the stores item number from the list of values. To view the entire list, type "%" in the long-list field and click on OK. You may also type the item number in since we know it as 0000009.
A modal window may popup with the message Destination Location requires customer association, click on OK for now. 3. Category - Defaults based upon your item number selection, will always be STOCK. 4. Description - Defaults based upon your item number selection. 5. Unit of Measure - Defaults based upon your item number selection. 6. Quantity - Enter quantity to purchase. 7. Price - This will default after you populate the Organization field (under Source field on the right side of the form.) 8. Need-By Date - Enter the date by which you need the item. 9. Tax Code Do not change, this is only used for uplift on purchase requisitions. 10. Destination Type - Select "Expense" from the list of values. (Must be "Expense" for all internal requisitions.) 11. Requestor Select an employee name from the list of values if you are preparing the requisition on behalf of someone else, such as your supervisor. 12. Organization Choose IITA. A window with the message Destination location requires customer association will appear, click OK. 13. Location Choose IITA. 14. Source - Choose "Inventory" from the list of values. (Must be "Inventory" for all internal requisitions.) 15. Organization - Choose "WAREHOUSES IN IBADAN" if you are ordering from any Warehouse in Ibadan. You will be able to select the other station warehouses once they are on-line. The price field will now be populated. 16. Subinventory Do not select a subinventory. 17. If you wished to request for more than one item you would repeat steps 1-16 above with a different line in the requisition Items region.
Internal Requisitions (Distributions)
Internal Requisitions (Distributions)
Instructions As has been mentioned previously, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE for selecting the correct accounting code and cost centre in Oracle. 1. Click on the Distributions button. 2. Click on the Charge Account field and it will automatically be populated with an account. 3. Charge Account Use the list of values to select the appropriate account. For the training we will all use the cost centre 1124 (Ibadan Dormitory) and you should choose the Account as : 6784 Other Supplies. The complete account therefore should be 01.6784.1124.000000000 0000000. If you have more than one line item then you would repeat the account distribution for each item. Remember that it is possible to charge different accounts for each line item on a requisition. 4. Save your requisition 5. Close the Distributions form. 6. Note the requisition number!
Check Fund availability (M) > Tools > Check Funds When you submit your requisition for approval it will automatically be checked to ensure you have sufficient funds to make the purchase(s). You can also check whether you have sufficient funds before submitting for approval as follows. 1. To check the entire requisition, position the cursor in the header area of the requisition, then select (M) > Tools > Check Funds, the system will check that you have sufficient funds for the entire requisition, in other words for all lines of the requisition. If all lines pass the funds check you will receive the message Your transaction(s) passed funds check. If any of the lines fail the funds check you will receive the message Your transactions partially passed funds check. If all lines fail the funds check you will receive the message APP-SQLGL-08204: Your transaction(s) failed funds check. 2. To check whether you have suitable funds for a specific line item, click in the line item first and then (M) > Tools > Check Funds. The messages described above have the same meaning at the line level. This will not reserve the funds, funds reservation takes place when the requisition is forwarded for approval.
Internal Requisitions (Submit for Approval)
Internal Requisitions (Submit for Approval)
Instructions 1. Click on the Approve button. 2. Select the Reserve checkbox. You must select this to reserve the funds for the purchase, this is known as encumbrance. 3. Select the Submit for Approval checkbox. 4. Select the Forward check box. If you have sufficient approval authority you would not need to select the Forward box, since you can self-approve. We are assuming in the example that you have no approval authority as would be the case if you are not a budget officer. 5. Approval Path - Choose the correct Approval Path hierarchy for the requisition. Choose IITA_APPROVAL_HIERARCHY. You will be informed of the appropriate approval hierarchies that you will use when the IITA system is completed. 6. Enter an explanation in the Note field, if necessary. 7. Click OK to submit for approval. It will be submitted to APPROVER, Doctor IITA for approval.

8. Your available funds will be checked to ensure you can purchase these items on the account and cost center you selected. 9. If you do not have sufficient funds the message Your transaction failed funds reservation will appear. The lines on the requisition that failed funds check will be shown on the Approval Errors window. You would then need to modify the accounts as necessary or delete the line from your requisition or adjust the quantities requested. 10. If funds are available you will receive the message Your transaction passed funds reservation. Click OK. 11. The message Action completed successfully. Click OK. 12. You will need to wait for a number of seconds before the message Document has been submitted for Approval appears. Click OK.

Incomplete : Before you submit your requisition for approval. In Process : has been submitted for approval. Pre-approve : Funds have been reserved for the document, if you see a status of Pre-Approved, that means that although you had authority to approve the document, you still elected to forward it to someone else (probably for information). Approved : You have reserved funds for the entire document and the document has completed the approval cycle. Returned : Any encumbrances have been reversed that are associated with the document; no funds are reserved. This is only relevant when completing Purchase Requisitions which is covered later. It occurs when a buyer rejected the requisition. Materials Management & Logistics returns to the preparer all requisition lines within the same requisition that are not on a purchase order requisitions could be returned in the case where the uplift tax code selected by the requestor does not correspond with the preferred shipping method for an overseas requisition. Further explanation will be given in the PUR_02 : Purchase Requisitions (RFP). Rejected : The approver rejected the requisition. No funds are reserved for the document and no approval is given.

Instructions 1. Use this screen to enter search criteria to limit the list of requisitions you wish to view. Note that if you enter no criteria all requisitions will be retrieved from the system. The example screen shows the search for all Internal Requisitions created by the REQUESTOR, Mr. IITA preparer, since we are looking for are own requisitions only. In the final system, your view will be restricted by your position in the approval hierarchy. 2. Click the Find button to start the search. 3. A list of all requisitions meeting your search criteria will be displayed. 4. Locate the requisition you have just created, the description should contain your name as specified earlier. At this point you can check the Approval Status column to see the status as described previously. The requisition should have an Approval Status of In Process as we are awaiting for it to be approved.
Instructions 1. Select your requisition and the click on (M) Tools > View Action History as shown in the screenshot above. The first line in the Action History window will contain details as to the name of the current document holder and the Action taken. The Action field will initially be blank and the Performed By field should contain the name of the person the document was forwarded to, in this case APPROVER, Doctor IITA. This confirms that your requisition has been correctly forwarded and is waiting approval from the budget officer/supervisor. If your own name is displayed here it means that there was some problem with the requisition forwarding. This is normally when you have selected an approval hierarchy that you are not a member of, or you have chosen an account to charge that your selected approval hierarchy does not have authority on. You would then need to check the Notifications Summary to confirm the reason. You cannot view the action history of Incomplete requisitions, they must be submitted for approval before any action history is created. 2. Close the Action History window.

As stated above, you will be informed by notification when your requisition has been approved, when it is rejected and when it is available for collection from the relevant store.
Demonstration
Using the Notifications Summary
Demonstration
In Oracle Purchasing we will demonstrate how to:
Using the Notifications Summary
Approve internal requisitions using the

Notifications Summary function.
1. Review the notifications listed in the Worklist and click on the requisition you wish to review. 2. You may review the requisition in detail if you require. Scroll down the Notification Details screen to review. Select Open button to review the entire requisition in Oracle Applications. 3. After reviewing you should choose the appropriate action. Approval Actions including the following: Approve (approves the requisition and can then be processed by stores or purchasing) Approve and Forward (approves the requisition and forwards to another individual for review) Forward (without approval, forwards the requisition to another individual for review) Reject (rejects the requisition and sends back to the originator) The notification will be returned to you with the message the requisition was sent to an invalid forward-to person if you do select a person when forwarding. 4. Select Submit button to complete the action.
You will be able to check here on the status of your requisitions. In our training class you can now open your Notifications Summary to see the approved (or rejected) requisitions from the Approver as demonstrated. Organising your Notifications Once you have read a notification you can choose to Close it, in the same way you might move an e-mail message from your inbox into a folder. The default notification list, lists only the open notifications. Close a Notification 1. Click on the Select checkmark box for each notification you wish to close. 2. Click on the Close Button. Finding Notifications If you need to locate closed notifications you can use the Find feature, indicated by the Torch icon. The Find Notifications window lets you enter search criteria to locate specific notifications. Status - choose a notification status of Canceled, Closed, Invalid Reply, or Open. Choose All to display notifications of any status.
Type - choose the item type of the notification(s). Choose All to display notifications of any item type. Subject - enter the subject of the notification you wish to search for. This field accepts case insensitive text strings and interprets the percent sign (%) as a wildcard. Sent - enter the date or range of dates from which the notification(s) were sent. Use the default date format of your database. Date format is DD-MON-YYYY, e.g. 10-OCT-2001. Due - enter the date or range of dates by which the notification(s) should be completed. Use the default date format of your database. Priority - choose High, Normal or Low as the priority of the notification(s) you wish to find or choose All to display notifications of any priority. Notifications Delegated to - check this criteria to search for notifications that you have forwarded to a specified role but yet still own. Click on the adjacent field's up arrow icon to display a list of roles from which to choose.

(N) Purchasing Requestor > Multi Org Quantity Search

The Item Search facility we have used so far allows us to search only one organization at a time for inventory items. In the IITA system, the different organizations defined are the warehouses in each of the stations such as those shown in the screenshot above. Use the Multiple Organization Inventory Report to show the inventory quantity on hand for items in more than one organization. The report has no limitations on the number of organizations you can enter. The report is sorted by inventory item for all of the organizations. You can run the report for all items, or you can specify a range of items.
(Help) Oracle Purchasing > Requisitions > Reports and Processes Requisition Activity Register - The Requisition Activity Register allows you to report on all requisitions created by preparer, creation date etc. It will list all requisitions, their cost and summarize the cost on a daily basis. Purchase Requisition Status This can be used to review the approval status of the requisitions you create. By limiting the approval status to search for, you can use the report as a tool to plan and monitor the buyer workload. You can also use the report to monitor requisitions in the approval process or returned and requiring further attention. Buyers Requisition Status (Purchasing) This identifies all or specific approved requisition lines that buyers have not placed on purchase orders. It consolidates the list of lines according to items. So if 3 purchase requisitions are received each requesting the same item they will be grouped in this report. Printed Requisitions Allows you to print a report of the requisitions which have the following status: Approved, Rejected, In Process, PreApproved, and Returned. The report does not include requisitions with status Incomplete or cancelled. Requisitions Distribution Detail This lists requisitions, distributions, and charge account information. You can also use the report to review requisitions that failed funds reservation.
Cancelled Requisition - Use the Cancelled Requisitions Report to review information on cancelled requisitions. Requisitions on Cancelled Sales Order (Storekeepers) This Report shows information on internally sourced requisition lines for which a sales order has been generated and subsequently cancelled. Backordered Internal Requisitions (Storekeepers) - This details information on your backordered internallysourced requisition lines. This means internal requisitions that have not been fulfilled, since item was not available at the time of the order. Internal Requisition Status - Use the Internal Requisition Status Report to print status information for internal requisitions. Internal Requisitions/Deliveries Discrepancy - The Internal Requisitions/Deliveries Discrepancy Report lists requisition documents with items whose source type is inventory. Use this report to identify goods that have been shipped and have a delivery discrepancy, I.e. a internal requisition requestor 10 reams of paper, but only 7 were available.

are the same as for Internal Requisitions : Create, edit, cancel and review requisitions online. Review status and action history of your requisitions. Distribute expenses across multiple cost centers. Route requisitions according to your approval structure.
Existing IITA forms which are replaced are :

Request for Purchase (RFP) Purchase Order and Purchase Order Amendment Searching for Supplier information and Purchase History
Completing a Purchase Requisition (RFP) on-line Tracking your purchase order status Be aware of special requisition uses travel
authorizations and cash advances
Searching Supplier information and Purchase

History for current prices (Supplier Item Catalog)
You should be aware that there are relatively few changes in the process for purchase requisitions compared to the Internal Requisitions process. This course focuses on the main differences on what you must enter on the form, as well as the use of the supplier item catalog and how to track your purchase order etc.
