Add Setting to have the Reorder process for Direct Material / Services to create separate Purchase Requisitions for different Work Orders

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

To automate administrative tasks we are leveraging the Reorder process (and the Reorder Cron Task) to generate our Purchase Requisitions. There is a very common use case though where Multiple WOs are being planned, or approved within the same timeframe that have the same vendor on their Direct Issue Materials or their Service Lines. In the majority of these cases, there are different approvers required and different schedules of execution and ultimately have different scopes negotiated with the vendor. 

Currently, when the Reorder runs a single PR is generated for the Site and Vendor with as many lines that fall under these 2 parameters. As a workaround our supply chain department is having to go into each PR, Cancel the lines that need to be on separate PRs and either wait for the Reorder Cron to run again, or manually run the Reorder again and rinse and repeat for however many lines appear that need separate PRs.

This scenario occurs at least once per day and in some of the busy seasons occurs multiple times a day and would save significant time from our SCM group to split this out as a setting to either drive a single PR combined, or split out PRs by WO#, Vendor, and SiteID - preferably a setting that can be set at the site ID level

    Thank you for your submission, we greatly value your feedback. We will be considering this enhancement for a future update to how the PRs are being generated for items / services on Work Order plans.
