Hi emm,

Thanks for your reply, but it is the same org. I am sure.
But I don't know why it is not appearing.

And also, one more requisition is appearing, but when i try to do autocreate PO, there is another error as "No Requisitions meet your search criteria. Why?

Please tell me, if you know about it.

Thanks,
Prakash

i think you have created folders

Kindly do one thing

Go to APPLICATION>administer folders in system administrator responsibility

Select by user and enter the name of the user there from which you are getting the error for the second one

If you find any lines there, delete them and re-query

Hope it help you

Check the item if any buyer is assigned else use manage buyer workload and assign to any other buyer who is going to create PO. Thanks

In a purchase department there may be more than one Purchasers/Buyers. Many purchase requisitions are created of different items on daily basis. Now who will decide which PR will be processed by whom? Secondly Buyers are also experts in buying certain items like a buyer to buy only electrical items should only create PO's of electrical items. This the reason items are assigned a buyer so requisitions of those items should be routed to the relevant.
So on searching requisition a buyer filter is automatically applied. In order to reassign buyers Oracle provided facility of Manage Buyer workload so the purchase manager can reassign as well.

Hope now it is clear if still any query then let us know. thanks
