Populate MRLINE with INVVENDOR information for Service Items

In application Create Requisition when adding a requisition line of type STDSERVICE and specifying an item number and a vendor, the fields Order unit, Unit Cost, Manufacturer, Model and Catalog# are not populated from the most recent invvendor record.

When adding a requisition line of type ITEM the fields are populated from invvendor records.

If looking at the corresponding functionality in Work Order Tracking, the Unit cost and Order unit are populated and updated for both items and services when changing the vendor.

Request to align the behavior when adding a line of type STDSERVICE in Create Requisition with the behavior of adding a line of type ITEM and the behavior in Work Order Tracking when adding items and services so information is populated from the most recent invvendor record.
