    Ensure that you have the following plugins installed.
    • Universal Request plugin (com.snc.universal_request)
    • Request Management plugin (com.sn_cs_sm_request)
    Note:
    A request is associated with the parent Universal Request record only when you have the following conditions set:
    • The glide.sc.use_cart_layouts system property is set to true.
    • The Use Cart Layout" check box for an individual catalog item is selected.

    Role required: routing agent

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Universal Request > All.
    2. Open the universal request record from which you want to create a request.
    3. Select Create Request.

    Result

    A request is created and is automatically assigned to the appropriate assignment group. If required, you can also add more details on the Requested item form.

    On the Requested item form, the universal request number that was used for creating the request is displayed. The request item number (RITM#) appears in the Primary ticket field on the Universal Request form and also under the Associated Requests related list.
