Requisition/Check Request > Maintenance > Priority
Priorities are codes that can be set up in Requisition/Check Request and Purchase Order Entry to assist in categorizing a Requisition/Check Request or Purchase Order line item. Priority codes could be used to allow the user to prioritize goods or services based on demand such as high, medium or low or to indicate an urgent request or one that requires overnight delivery.
Priority Codes can be used to load Requisition/Check Request and Purchase Order items into Approval and Review sessions.
At minimum one priority must be entered into the priority table; while not indicated on the form, priority is required during Requisition/Check Request entry (not required in purchase order entry) in order to submit the request. You may also establish a default priority code for each user within the system security.
Dependent on System Settings the label for this field can be user defined by entering an alternative caption in the 'Priority Label' System Setting.
To delete a priority code select the delete checkbox to the left of the priority code you wish to delete and press the SAVE Button
Check the box to make the Priority available for selection in the Requisition/Check Request and Purchase Order Entry entry pages. This will allow Priority records that are associated to existing transactions (and cannot be deleted from the system) to be marked inactive and unavailable for selection on new transaction lines.
Enter an identifiable name for the priority in this field.
Enter the corresponding description for the priority code name.
