Loader BU (Purchasing Requisition Loader process business unit)	Displays the business unit of the Purchasing Requisition Loader process that loaded the purchase request to retrieve.

Note. When using the Requisition Workbench page to search for requisitions originating from PeopleSoft Field Service, the Loader BU value should be the same as your PeopleSoft CRM Field Service and PeopleSoft CRM Support business unit.

Business Unit

Displays the business unit of the requisitions to retrieve. If you have entered a value in the Loader BU and System Source fields, the business unit value designated for the Loader BU/System Source combination on the Requisition Loader Defaults - Req Loader Defaults page appears.

All: All qualifying requisition lines are retrieved.
All Except Drop Shipments: All qualifying requisition lines that are not drop shipments are retrieved.
POs Drop Shipments Only (purchase orders drop shipments only): All qualifying requisition lines that are drop shipments are retrieved.

If a commitment detail ledger has been selected for that commitment control ledger group on the Ledgers For A Unit - Commitment Control Options page, the selected commitment control ledger group appears as the default ledger group here.

Reviewing Requisition Accounting Line Entries

Access the Requisition Accounting Entries page.

To properly generate entry event accounting entries, run the Entry Event Generator each time that you run the budget check process. When the Entry Event Generator is run more than once, it does not replace the existing entries. Instead, it creates a new set of entries for that transaction by increasing the Unpost Sequence Number instead. The entire entry event history for a transaction appears on the Requisition Accounting Entries page. The values in the Unpost Seq (unpost sequence) field display every entry event post process.

Standard accounting entries are created by the budget check process. When the budget check process is run again, it deletes the existing entries for that transaction and re-creates a new set of entries for that transaction so that the value in the Unpost Seq field is always 0 (zero) for standard entries.

Accounting Entries

Requisition ID	Click this link to access the Requisition Inquiry page, where you can view the vendor ID and other requisition details.

Unpost Seq (unpost sequence)	Indicates the number of times that the Entry Event Generator has been run. For standard entries, the value is always 0. For supplemental entries, the value is 0 the first time that the Entry Event Generator is run, 1 the second time, and so on.
Monetary Amount	Click to access the Commitment Control Activity Log page, where you can view basic activity information.
Closed Value	Indicates whether the transaction has been closed. Values are: Y: Closed. N: Open. When a transaction is closed, the Budget Processor liquidates all of its remaining unliquidated commitment control ledger amounts.
Journal ID	For standard entries, displays the journal ID. For supplemental entries, displays the commitment control ID.
Reference Reversal ID	Displays the purchase order ID associated with the reversal accounting entry lines.
