Edit Material Request – A Summary of the Activity

This activity allows you to select, modify or delete a material request transaction. Material request (MR) is a document for requesting the issue of items from the warehouse. The request can be raised from any department or cost center for issuing the material. Material requests can be created with reference to a sale order, work order or production order or can be made without reference to a base document. If the MR refers to a base document, the reference document number and type are mandatory. If the reference document in turn refers to another document, it can also be recorded during the creation of the MR. Requests from multiple cost centers can be combined into a single material request against which an issue can be generated.  The requisite amount of stock is issued from the warehouse based on the details specified in the MR.

Material requests are classified to be of type “Capital” and “General” depending on whether the request for issue of materials is from a warehouse of type “Capital” or “Non-capital”. Material request transactions can be authorized based on the permissions granted to the user. The user must have the requisite “Authorize” permissions to authorize the material request transaction.
