Purchase suggestion
Purchase suggestions are created if:
• stock is replenished;
• a requisition for a non-stock item is accepted and processed into purchase orders. When the requisition is accepted, a purchase suggestion is created for every requisition line of a non-stock item;
• a requisition line under a work order or planned maintenance order is accepted.
Multiple purchase suggestions can be combined into a single purchase order, by clustering them.
For example, if you are purchasing two different items (a laptop and a printer) from the same vendor, the purchase suggestions for these items are combined into one purchase order with two purchase order lines (one for the laptop and the other for the printer.)

For more information on clustering purchase suggestions, see Generating a purchase order.
You can cluster purchase suggestions by the following criteria:
• Vendor - this option allows you to create purchase orders for purchase suggestions, based on the vendor;
• Property and/or delivery address of the related requests - this option allows you to create purchase orders based on a combination of property and the delivery address or only the property.
 | As soon as an order (requisition / work order / planned maintenance order) is set to Administratively completed, any corresponding purchase suggestions will be deleted. |
