Problem: A Purchase requisition PR1, is used to create a negotiation and then to a Blanket purchase

agreement. And this BPA is used to create the subsequent requisition say PR2. But in this process,
the budget got reserved for both the PRs (PR1 & PR2) and processed twice resulting in excess
budget consumption.

How can this be avoided?

UI Flow:

1. Set the Negotiated Required flag to ‘Yes’ on the master item in the purchasing specifications

2. Create a requisition with the above item with the required quantity(say 10) and submit it for
approval
3. Requisition gets Reserved

4. Create a Negotiation from process requisition with outcome as Blanket purchase agreement
5. Supplier creates a response and then category manager awards the negotiation and completes
the award by checking ‘Source requisitions from purchasing documents’ check box

6. Submit the purchasing document for approval


7. BPA got created

8. You can see that the above requisition is back in the process requisitions, and when you try to
create a PO, observe that the agreement is stamped on the requisition
9. You can create a PO with partial quantity.
10. Once the PO is approved the PO funds are obligated only for the partial quantity and the funds
on the requisition are liquidated for the full quantity.

11. Create another requisition for the remaining quantity with the same agreement source and
create a PO.
