Many items are one-offs exclusive to the project. Many materials bypass the receiving dock and ship directly to the job site. The requests can come in many different formats\u2014requisitions, item requirements, etc. In a typical project-oriented environment, with some minimal in-house production, material requirements might come via:<\/p><ul><li>Sales order\u2013item shipment from stock<\/li><li>Sales order\u2014item direct ship from vendor<\/li><li>Sales order\u2014non-item\/category<\/li><li>Project item requirements<\/li><li>Project purchase requisition\u2014item<\/li><li>Project purchase requisition\u2014category or service, subcontract etc.<\/li><li>Production-material requirement<\/li><li>Production-outside services<\/li><li>Production-direct purchase (purchase to order\/buyout)<\/li><li>Internal\/employee requisitions<\/li><li>Internal\/supplier catalogue requisitions<\/li><\/ul><p>It seems as though on one side of the map we have a Persian army of requirements poised to overwhelm our lonely Greek purchasing manager Leonidas and his relatively tiny army of buyers, with the survival of our project reliant on preventing even a single requirement to slip through unfulfilled. OK, that might be just a bit of a hyperbole, but it does provide an opportunity to slip in a nifty strategy Leonidas deployed that helped his army of 7000 hold off Xerxes\u2019 roughly 150,000 for more than a week at the Battle of Thermopylae. It\u2019s also the same strategy you\u2019ve seen in every old western involving an ambush.

Not only does it identify what needs to be ordered, but by assigning due dates, and if lead times are known, order-by dates, it can help prioritise which unfulfilled requirements should be addressed first. The main benefits and tools available within this include:<\/p><ul><li>Review of planned purchase orders within a standard grid page, can be sorted, filtered, personalised, etc.<\/li><li>Planned purchase orders can carry automatic vendor assignment for single-sourced items (set the default on released product record) or for multi-sourced items can select lowest price or shortest leadtime using trade agreements.<\/li><li>Creating a PO from this screen is 2-click\u2014select the record, then firm the order. Header, line, quantity, dates, etc. all are populated automatically.<\/li><li>Selecting multiple lines and firming at once can follow grouping rules, such as single PO by vendor, etc.<\/li><li>If blanket orders (purchase agreements) are in effect for any part, firming the planned purchase order will\u00a0<em>automatically<\/em>\u00a0release against the blanket rather than create a new order. Have\u00a0<em>you<\/em>\u00a0ever forgotten to cheque on blanket balances before creating a new PO?<\/li><li>For parts you have high confidence in, all the above steps can be fully automated\u2014zero eyeball or click time.<\/li><\/ul><p>Note that this pipeline will capture all production material requirements, all non-project sales orders, and all project item requirements. For project requirements, though, the project is only on the\u00a0<em>demand<\/em>\u00a0side and MRP plans on covering the project through\u00a0<em>company owned<\/em>\u00a0inventory, purchase, etc. The purchase order itself would not be charged to the project or count towards committed cost (the project item requirement carries the committed cost). If the organisation is not comfortable with this process and needs the PO itself to include the project, then instead of \u201cfirming\u201d the planned orders, then the buyer could simply hyperlink from the planned order to the pegged item requirement (shows in the \u201creference\u201d field, and from that sales order bring up the project to place a project PO, but that might be a bit too click-heavy for our overburdened buyer.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101472 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-1024x346.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-1024x346.png 1024w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-768x259.png 768w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-1536x519.png 1536w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-Requirements-planned-orders-2048x692.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>For a more efficient path, the buyer could just look directly at project item requirements grid page, personalised to add reference type and reference number, which will help sort out which item requirements are on order and which are blank\/need to be ordered:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101473 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-1024x273.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-1024x273.png 1024w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-768x205.png 768w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-1536x410.png 1536w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Project-management-and-accounting-item-requirements-2048x547.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Note that using the item requirements\u00a0<em>bypasses<\/em>\u00a0MRP, so if there is available inventory or excess balance from another order, creating a PO from an item requirement will not apply that surplus.

Note that \u201cconfirm\u201d in D365 indicates that the buyer has finalised and sent the order, not to be confused with a vendor\u2019s acknowledgement, which is generally reflected by populating the \u201cconfirmed delivery date\u201d field on a PO line.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><a href=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101474 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-1024x245.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-1024x245.png 1024w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-768x184.png 768w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-1536x367.png 1536w, https:\/\/sisn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Microsoft-Dynamics-365-Procurement-and-sourcing-purchase-orders-2048x489.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f295b70 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f295b70\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b25b99b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b25b99b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7f5d07 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d7f5d07\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d56ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d56ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Conclusion<\/h2><p>Trying to identify and react to the dizzying variety of requirements for materials, services, projects, sales, production, etc. is no easy task. That variety does, though, eventually show up into one of (3) common grids that can be easily searched, filtered and personalised, and within each of those grids, creating the PO is just a couple clicks to finish. By focusing on those main grids and using the efficiency tools built into them, you\u2019ll have a much better grasp of what\u2019s needed, relative priorities, and the information necessary to act upon those requirements. The pipes and the basic actions are:<\/p><ol><li>MRP planned purchases, \u201cfirm\u201d and \u201cconfirm\u201d. If MRP is not being used and project materials are tracked using item requirements instead, then the Item Requirements grid page, personalised and filtered for blank reference type can show all project requirements without matching\u00a0<em>project purchase orders<\/em>\u00a0(ignores MRP-planned PO\u2019s to inventory that could apply to the project)<\/li><li>Approved requisitions\u2014\u201cRelease Approved Requisitions\u201d grid to view requisitions approved but not yet ordered. Click to select, then New\/Purchase Order and Confirm.<\/li><li>PO\u2019s automatically created, to review\/send\u2014\u201cPurchase orders not sent\u201d grid displays all PO\u2019s that have not been \u201cconfirmed\u201d. Depending on the reliability of the process used to automatically create the PO(s), review\/scrub before sending, then \u201cConfirm\u201d.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458b725 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"458b725\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e763ca4 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"e763ca4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d1c1e3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7d1c1e3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-add1b56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"add1b56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>About Chan Stevens:<\/strong><\/h3><p>Chan is a Senior Supply Chain and Projects Consultant for implementations of Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions.
