Create (Logistics Reassignment) Memorandum Dues in from Procurement Source (Purchase Requisition)
 
Description:
A memorandum due in from Procurement Source (Purchase Requisition (PR)) is normally related to the Logistic Reassignment Process and is established based on receipt of a DDX transaction. DDX transactions provide information related to PRs as well as purchase orders (PO). If the 9th position of the document number received is an Alpha character, the transaction is related to a PO. Purchase requisitions can be updated based on the receipt of a DDX transaction (normally a reversal, see the script for change memorandum due in from Procurement Source (purchase requisition). This type of PR will appear very similar to a standard PR and will include the line item information at the line item level (PR line item, material, quantity, and due in location). The memorandum PR is established and updated to provide information to Manugistics for planning purposes and for use by others interested in material due in from procurement.
