Select this option to indicate that you must enter the requisition number before you can save the requisition.

Select this option to have Costpoint automatically assign a requisition number when you save a requisition. You can manually modify a requisition number on the Manage Purchase Requisitions screen.

If you selected the System option, you must enter the last requisition number issued in this field before using Costpoint to generate new requisitions. Costpoint will increase the number of the last requisition by one. If you are not currently using a requisition system, the starting requisition can be zero. If you modify a number manually in the Manage Purchase Requisitions screen, the number you enter will not update this field.

To have requisitions printed in correct numeric order, you must select a ceiling number not to exceed 10 digits. For example, if the highest number desired is "9999999999," enter zero as "0000000000;" or if the highest number desired is "RQ-9999," and the last requisition number used was "RQ-124," enter that number as "RQ-0124."

This number is always incremented from the right and only if the rightmost character is numeric (rather than alpha). For example: "RQ594123" becomes "RQ594124;" "RQIDABCD9" becomes "RQIDABCD0;" "9999999999" becomes "0000000000;" "RQ9999999A" is not incremented. You should enter sufficient numeric characters to the right to ensure that duplicates do not occur.
