Handle Supply Request

Explanation

Perform this activity to handle a supply request for a project demand.

A supply request can either be a Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order, Shop Order or a DOP Header. Each supply type is preposted with the Project ID and activity sequence that has been connected to the project demand. This means that cost, hours and progress are fed back to the connected project activity every time an action is executed on the supply request. However, since the supply request belongs to the project and/or delivery project, any quantity or date change that is done directly on the supply request itself will be questioned, i.e. a question appears to make you aware that the supply has originated from project.
