Adding Purchase Request Lines
Each item or expense type that is added to a Purchase Request is called a ‘line’ and appears as an entry in the
Entries section of the Details tab in the Purchase Request page.

Expense Types are non-inventory items and may be set up as G/L Accounts, products, services or any
other type of expense.

Inventory Items are used only for items that your organization tracks in its inventory.
To add an entry to the purchase request, you must select from a list of pre-defined expense or inventory items.
Once you add an item, you can make changes to the request line to enter specific details for requested item.
There is no limit to the number of expense/item lines that you can add to a purchase request.
