The material demand-to-purchase flow in MEGABAU 365 starts with a Demand Request that collects the items needed for a job, routes them into a requisition worksheet, and from there into purchase documents. Construction Base extends this flow: it can automatically route demand into a dedicated planning worksheet, adds its own Delivery Type classification that is kept in sync with the underlying worksheets, and adds an item picker and additional overview fields along the way.
Note
Two of the pages described below - Req. Worksheet and Planning Worksheet - are standard Business Central pages extended directly by Construction Base. All other objects on this page extend MEGABAU 365.
Demand Requisition
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 table Demand RequisitionMGB, the header of a demand request, with the following fields.
Below you will find the description of the fields.
Field
Description
Planing Worksheet Template
The requisition worksheet template used to plan this demand.
Planing Worksheet Name
The requisition worksheet (of template type Planning) used to plan this demand.
Delivery Type
Construction Base's own delivery type classification for this demand request, see Delivery Type below. Changing it automatically updates the underlying MEGABAU 365 Delivery Type field.
Note
When a new demand request is created, Construction Base automatically fills in the Planing Worksheet Template from the mandatory Planing Worksheet Template field of the Purchases & Payables Setup. The Planing Worksheet Name is then taken from the Planning Worksheet field of the Manufacturing Setup if one is specified there, or otherwise from the only existing worksheet name of that template, if there is exactly one.
Demand Request
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 page Demand RequestMGB as follows.
Below you will find the description of the fields.
Field
Description
Planing Worksheet Name
Shown next to the Requisition Worksheet Name field. Only editable while the demand request is in status Requested, and only shown when Use planning template is enabled in the Manufacturing Setup.
Delivery Type
Replaces the MEGABAU 365 Delivery Type field, which is hidden, with Construction Base's own Delivery Type field, see below.
Delivery Type
Construction Base introduces its own Delivery Type option, used on the Demand Request and on the Req. Worksheet described below, in place of the standard MEGABAU 365 Delivery Type field. Whenever it is set, Construction Base automatically translates the value into the corresponding underlying Delivery Type field, so that the existing planning and purchasing logic keeps working unchanged.
