po_requisitions_interface_all
4. After Purchase Release has completed successfully, run Requisition Import in Oracle Purchasing to generate purchase requisitions for the processed order lines. The Requisition Import program reads the table po_requisitions_interface_all validates your data, derives or defaults additional information and writes an error message for every validation that fails into the po_interface_errors table.The validated data is then inserted into the requisition base tables po_requisition_headers_all,po_requisition_lines_all,po_requisition_distributions_all.Then use autocreate PO fuctionality to create purchase orders and then perform. receipts against these purchase orders

DropShip的工作场景：
企业A向客户B销售产品，但是企业A本身并不生产该产品，而是向供应商C来采购，并且在大部分的情况都是C向B直接发货，也就是说企业A大部分的交易都是贸易，属于贸易型企业，除了贸易型企业，对于一些集团公司的销售公司或门店也采用这种销售方式。即‘左手倒右手’。

1.create a item,and ensure this item have purchasable and salable properties.
(according step 4 error,we should also type a value to list price field).

2.Create a sale order,and ensure 'Source Type'  is 'External'.
if source type is 'Internal',it stand for that you will sale item from your stock.
if source type is 'External',it stand for that you will sale item from other supplier.(Drop ship Way)

3. The Purchase Release program passes information about eligible drop-ship order lines to Oracle Purchasing.The interface table which gets populated is
po_requisitions_interface_all

4.After Purchase Release has completed successfully, run Requisition Import in Oracle Purchasing to generate purchase requisitions for the processed order lines. The Requisition Import program reads the table po_requisitions_interface_all validates your data, derives or defaults additional information and writes an error message for every validation that fails into the po_interface_errors table.The validated data is then inserted into the requisition base tables po_requisition_headers_all,po_requisition_lines_all,po_requisition_distributions_all.Then use autocreate PO fuctionality to create purchase orders and then perform. receipts against these purchase orders

After requisition import,In PR summary form,Try to find your PR.

But can Not find my PR.
Execute below query,
SELECTe.error_message
FROM   po_requisitions_interface_all i, PO_INTERFACE_ERRORS e
WHERE   i.TRANSACTION_ID=e.INTERFACE_TRANSACTION_IDAND item_id =25875
Error is:This item is missing a list price in the item master setup window. Please enter a list price greater than zero (0) in the item master.

Then go back to Master item form,type a value to List price,

Becasue Req Import does not pick up interface records that previously failed.we also need update process_flag from 'ERROR' to 'FUTURE'.
Script. like:
update po_requisitions_interface_all set process_flag = 'FUTURE' where item_id = 25875

Then re-run Requisition Import request.PR got generated sucessfully.

5.Auto create PO

6.PO approve

7.Receipt&Delivery

9.After receipt,a sale order issue txn will automaticlly generate.

Sale order line is closed.

Once customer receipt the PO,Then you can take the AR which created by SO to customer,
Customer will give amount 1350 to you
