Attributes

The Attributes tab enables you to associate attributes with either the requisition or a specific line item. Examples of attributes include purchase terms, late penalties, and reference numbers.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on requisition ID, location, vendor, status, purchase type, approval, employee ID (requester, buyer), to/from dates, and equipment ID, among other values.

Note: Unless you specify a header status, filtering on equipment ID returns all items in all statuses that apply to that ID.

Location level security applies to this tab; go to location level control for more information.
