Material Requisition Number

The Material Requisition Number formatter controls how users enter data in the Requisition No field in the Material Requisition module. When debating how to format your requisition numbers, consider how many requisitions you expect to receive per year, per month, etc.  Then, decide how often you would like to reset requisition numbers (yearly, monthly, daily).

Yearly Formatting: YY- XXXXXX (e.g. 06-000001)

Monthly Formatting: YY-MM-XXXX (e.g. 06- 08-0001)

Daily Formatting: YY-MMDD-XXX (e.g. 06-0801-001)

2. Select Work Request Number from the drop-down menu in the dialog box.
3. Click on the module toolbar to enter Edit Mode.
