8. The Release checkbox should have a checkmark.

9. Click the green magnifying glass.

10. The results will populate below.

11. Next you need to bring up the PO Bundling screen in another browser tab. From the main menu, go to Inventory > Purchasing > PO Bundling.

27. Click NEXT.

28. The screen returns to the PO bundling screen - ready for you to start bundling other Reqs if desired.

29. To continue with the Purchase Order processing, go back to the PO screen. Inventory > Purchasing > Purchase Order.

30. Expand the red chevron.

31. Enter the bundled Req number in the Requisition ID field and click the green magnifying glass.
