EDI "Notes to Supplier" Instructions

When creating a BEN Buys purchase requisition for one of the EDI suppliers listed above, you may have a need to include special instructions to the supplier. To do so, create a separate purchase order line by entering a non-catalog request detailing the special instructions to the supplier. Please do not use this process to request a "rush order" as the extra line for notes to the supplier will cause a slight delay in the supplier processing the order..
