HMM Supply Requisition Process

Use this page to process supply requisitions (SRs) either in batches or as individual SRs. You can select filters to create specific range of SRs which you can then process.

Processing Supply Requisitions

This section describes:

  • Different types of SR process actions
  • What happens in Business Central after you process SRs
  • How to use back orders with SRs
  • SR reports

Note icon. Note: If you open the HMM Supply Requisition Process page by using the Process action from a specific SR entry, then only information about that SR will be displayed.

Supply Requisition Process Actions

The HMM Supply Requisition Process page displays all of the SRs which you are able to process. You can select multiple SRs to process and you can filter the available SRs by selecting the type of process action you want to take. There are three types of SR process actions:

  • Delivery: This type of action creates an item reclassification journal based on the information entered in the SR. Use this action to fulfill SRs.
    • The replenishment and destination locations of the created item reclassification journal are based on the locations selected in the SR.
    • The item reclassification journal is automatically posted when you process an SR.
    • The item reclassification journal is created using the base unit of measure (UoM) of the item, even if the UoM of the SR entry is different.
  • Reverse: This type of action reverses an SR which has been processed or partially processed. Use this action to correct SRs which have incorrect quantities.
  • Cancel: This type of action cancels the remaining quantity of an item in an SR. The remaining quantity is canceled and the remaining quantity is changed to zero and the SR is moved to the HMM Archived Supply Requisitions page.
    • You cannot cancel a requisition line if the quantity is already picked for the item but not transferred.

Depending on the type of action you select, different SRs are displayed on the HMM Supply Requisition Process page. For example, any SRs which have been partially fulfilled will not appear if you select Cancel as the process action.

After you successfully process SRs, then they are fulfilled which means all the requested quantities are fully received. You can view successful SRs in the HMM Archived Supply Requisitions page.

Item Quantities Detail Section

You can view a summary of key information about a selected SR in the Item Quantities Detail section. The Item Quantities Detail displays the replenishment location and available quantity of the item of the SR. The Item Quantities Detail also displays information about an item for all SRs which use that item. For example, you have three SRs for Item A, with each SR requesting a specific quantity of Item A. By opening Item Quantity Detail, you can view the available quantity of Item A which accounts for all SRs.

Refer to the image below to see the Item Quantities Detail section.

Results of Processing Supply Requisitions

When you create expense preview and transfer preview transactions, item reclassification journals are automatically created in Business Central. These item reclassification journals can process transfers of stock and non-stock items. Issue transactions, instead of negative adjustments, are used when you expense items at non-stock locations.

Allow Back Orders for Supply Requisitions

If you have turned on Allow Back Orders in SR in your HMM Setup, you can process an SR multiple times. Use Allow Back Orders in SR to allow supply requisitions to remain open even if they are partially filled. For example, if a supply requisition for ten items is partially filled, with seven items sent to a location, but with three items remaining in the requisition, then the supply requisition order remains open until the rest of the requisition is filled.

If you turn off Allow Back Orders in SR then any remaining quantity of an SR which is not fulfilled is canceled.

Supply Requisitions Reports

The packing slip and audit report are printed when the item reclassification journal is created, and after the SR is processed. The packing slip report displays information about the items which are processed.

The process report displays the statuses of all the processed SR lines, if the SR line was processed successfully or if there was an error. If an SR line has an error after you process it then the process report provides details about the cause of the error. This report will display the following information:

  • Supply Requisition Number
  • Item and item description
  • Replenishment location
  • Requesting location
  • UoM
  • Quantity processed
  • Status of the SR (success or fail)
  • Error, including any possible errors if the SR failed to process

The Multi-Entity Management (MEM) integration with Healthcare Materials Management affects the ability access to all records in a company. When enabled through the Multi-Entity Management Setuppage, a new field for MEM Entity ID (Company Code) will be shown in all the Log Reports after processing the SR. When MEM is not installed or is disabled, this field will not appear in the Log Report.
