Then, select Internal use under the Selection section. Next, click Multiple to create multiple standard internal use requests or click Open to edit an existing standard internal use request.
Exact Globe Next allows you to create two types of internal use requests, namely standard internal use requests and group internal use requests. An internal use request is created for requesting items or services to support daily internal processes in an organization. A standard internal use request contains a single item per request whereas a group internal use request contains multiple items per request. You can generate standard internal use requests in multiples but once saved, the requests will be divided into the individual standard internal use requests. For more information on how to create group internal use requests, see Creating and maintaining internal use requests and Creating and maintaining group internal use requests.
In this screen, you can create multiple standard internal use requests for different items or resources with different quantities, unit of measurements, and warehouses, from a single entry screen. This function is useful when you want to create multiple internal use requests for the same reason, project, sales order, or creditor. You can retrieve the created requests via Inventory ➔ Entries ➔ Internal use and HR ➔ Entries ➔ Internal use. For more information, see Overview of internal use requests.
