Negotiated Flag on the Enter Requisition Line Page

Summary

How can I set the value of the Negotiated Flag on an Enter Requisition Line

Content

There were a few customer posts recently asking whether it was possible to set the Negotiated flag on the Enter Requisition Line page. The requirement was to automatically create a Purchase Order using an Agreement association while the Negotiated Flag was set to be True.

The issue was this flag is not available by default on said page. So the customers were not sure whether what they wanted was feasible.

Solution:

Via personalization, the Enter Requisition Line can be personalized to display the Negotiated attribute. You can determine what the default value for the flag ought to be. In this case to help the customers, the recommendation was to set this to Y by default, i.e. check the Negotiated checkbox. The idea was that when the requisition is created and ultimately converted to a purchase order, the value of the flag carries through.
