This project default specifies whether to keep requisition position numbers when an inquiry requisition is converted into a purchase order requisition, based on the results of the inquiry cycle (Create PO Req button on P.30.22 Commercial Evaluation, Quote Summaries tab).
If this default has been set to N (default), the PO requisition position numbers are created sequentially only taking into account project default ZR_RLIINC.
If this default is set to Y, the requisition position numbers of the inquiry only requisition are copied, regardless of whether this results in gaps or not.
Example:
Position numbers on the inquiry only requisition:
10 / 1
20 / 1
30 / 1
We assume that ZR_RLIINC has been set to 1.
If ZP_KEEPPOS is set to N, the resulting PO requisition looks like this:
1 / 1
2 / 1
3 / 1
If ZP_KEEPPOS is set to Y, the resulting PO requisition looks like this:
10 / 1
20 / 1
30 / 1
Please note that setting ZP_KEEPPOS to Y can lead to gaps in the position numbers if not all positions of an inquiry only requisition are awarded to the same bidder.
This means for the example given above:
If position 20 of the inquiry only requisition has been awarded to a different bidder, the PO requisition for the bidder of the remaining positions will look like this:
ZP_KEEPPOS = N
1 / 1
2 / 1
ZP_KEEPPOS = Y
10 / 1
30 / 1
