Internal Requisitions
Internal requisitions provide the mechanism for requesting and transferring material from inventory to other inventory or expense locations. When Purchasing, Order Management, Shipping Execution, and Inventory are installed, they combine to give you a flexible solution for your inter–organization and intra–organization requests.
With Internal requisition You can be able to:
- Use internal requisitions to move inventory items from one inventory organization to another, even if that organization belongs to a different operating unit, legal entity, or set of books
- Set up your supply chain and automatically source your requirements from inventory or suppliers : Purchasing and Inventory combine to provide the flexibility you need to define your item sourcing information. You can use the default
sourcing options to automatically determine the correct source type and source for your requests. You can specify either Inventory or Supplier as the default source type, as well as the source organization and subinventory for internal requests. - Define your inter–organization shipping network, and optionally require that you use internal orders for your inter–organization transfers : Inventory provides the features you need to define your inter–organization shipping network. For transfers between two organizations, you can specify whether to use intransit or direct shipments. You can also require internal orders for transfers between specific organizations.
- Use intransit inventory when you want to track items as they move between organizations
- Automatically generate inventory replenishment requisitions and fulfill them via internal or external suppliers : Inventory generates replenishment requisitions through min–max planning, reorder point planning, subinventory replenishment for
replenishment counts, and Kanban replenishment. Purchasing uses your item sourcing information to create inter–organization or subinventory transfer requests. - Automatically source MRP generated requisitions to internal or external suppliers : MRP generated requisitions are sourced using the same item sourcing information that you define for inventory replenishment and on–line requisitions. For ”buy” items, the Requisition Import process uses the item sourcing information to create either a purchase requisition or an
inter–organization internal requisition for planned orders. - Creating Online Requisitions : You can create on–line internal requisitions for both expense and inventory destinations using the same windows you use to create purchase requisitions. You can combine inventory and supplier sourced requisition lines on the same requisition. Also, Purchasing uses your item sourcing information to default the correct source type and supplier for the item and destination. You can define requisition templates for commonly requested internally sourced items.
The Order flow of internal SO is shown in below diagram.

Important Points
1. An Internal Order does not generate an Accounts Receivable invoice.
2. The price on the internal sales order line comes directly from the price on the requisition line. OrderImport does not use the price list to recalculate the line price.
Although internal requisitions use the item’s cost as the price, Order Management requires price lists to process all sales orders. Define a price list for use with the internal requisition order type. You do not need to add any lines to the price list.
However, the price that is used when posting the intercompany payables and receivables information is the item cost plus any markup defined in the shipping network.
3. The process that would do the accounting entries is also indicated – Cost processor, Inter-Company Invoicing, Receiving processor.
4. An Internal Order is view only, changes can only be made to Shipping information.
5. An Internal Order can only have one schedule date, and cannot be split into multiple partial quantities/shipments.
6. Getting error - APP-18370 Incomplete Ship Set - when trying to Pick Release order. Make sure that the item setup does not have the item set to ATO.
7. The user creating a requisition attached as an employee in Human Resources.
