Answer 1

You need to set two items:
1.) Control Key - Designate a seperate control key for External activities (PM02 is often used, unless you have a seperate set of codes/code naming method)
PM -> Maintenance and service processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and settings for order types -> Control Key -> Maintain Control Keys.  Assign a "+" to the "Externally processed operation" field.
When that is set, be sure to specify that in your work order or task list.  Then, you will be prompted to fill out the purchase requisition information.
2.) Requisitions: You have the choice of one req for all operations or one req for each.  To make that setting, go to:
PM -> Maintenance and service processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and settings for order types -> Define Change docs, Collective purchase req indicator, operation No interval.
