Hi John,
But it is a purchasing activity nevertheless. So why not call a spade a
spade and make it a requisition? They are simpler than POs and don't
impact any financials. Create a requisition type for this purpose that's
never going to turn into a PO. Simples.
A Notification would also work well, but the amount of work involved is
most likely more than for a customised Purchase Req.
Regards,
Mike
