Post Material Requisitions

Use the Post Material Requisitions function to post material requisitions.

When you post, entries are made to these accounts for requisitions for inventory items:

Account	Entry
Material Inventory	Credit
Material Expense	Debit

Entries are made to these accounts for requisitions for non-inventory items:

Account	Entry
Material Misc	Credit
Material Expense	Debit

Entries are made to these accounts for material requisition returns for inventory items:

Account	Entry
Material Inventory	Debit
Material Expense	Credit

The inventory account for posting material requisitions comes from the account codes for the items being posted. The material expense account comes from the default material expense account selected in the Defaults-GL Accounts section of the Business Rules function.

The default general ledger accounts are selected in the Business Rules function, or you can select a different debit account when you enter the requisition on the Detail tab in detail view.

If an accounting period is closed, you can either edit the requisitions to use a different period, or you can use the System Manager Period Conversion function to re-open the account period and then post the requisitions.

After you post, only items with backordered quantities remain. Print the Backorder Allocation Report to determine which backordered requisitions you can fill. Then use the Enter Material Requisitions function to fill or delete requisitions.
