+- If your Items are inventory items, you must also mention the Warehouse where you expect these Items to be delivered. This helps to keep track of the Projected Quantity for this Item. Projected Quantity is the level of stock that is predicted for a particular Item, based on the current stock levels and other requirements.It is the quantity of gross inventory, including supply and demand in the past that is done as part of the planning process. The projected inventory is used by the planning system to monitor the reorder point and to determine the reorder quantity. The projected Quantity is used by the planning engine to monitor the safety stock levels. These levels are maintained to serve unexpected demands. Having a tight control of the projected inventory is crucial to detect when the reorder point is being crossed and to calculate the right order quantity.

 > Info: Material Request is not mandatory. It is ideal if you have centralized buying so that you can collect this information from various departments.
 
 #### Authorization
 
-If you want your Material Request to be authorized by a senior person like a Purchase Manager then you can give “Submit” rights only to that person. Everyone can create requests, but only the authorized person can “Submit”.

 1. Create separate Items for the unprocessed and the processed product. For example if you supply unpainted X to your Supplier and the Supplier returns you X, you can create two Items: “X-unpainted” and “X”.
 1. Create a Warehouse for your Supplier so that you can keep track of Items supplied. (you may supply a months worth of Items in one go).

 1. Make a Bill of Materials for the processed Item, with the unprocessed Items as sub-items.For example, If you are manufacturing a pen, the processed pen will be named under Bill of Materials(BOM), whereas, the refill, knob, and other items which go into the making of pen, will be categorised as sub-items.
 1. Make a Purchase Order for the processed Item. When you “Save”, in the “Raw Materials Detail”, all your un-processed Items will be updated based on your Bill of Materials.
 	1. Make sure that the “Rate” of this Item is the processing rate (excluding the raw material rate).
