Mike,
1. Under Material Management > Purchase Management > Setup > Requisition Actions, make sure the "Send to Purchasing" checkbox is checked for whatever the final action is (in mine it's the Create Purchase order action, I don't remember what the default is).
2. Make sure you're an authorized buyer for whoever the PO gets created by
3. In the PO Suggestions search, click "Options" and then check "Return All Rows"
4. Look in the Change PO Suggestions program too in case there is already a PO out for that particular part
If all else fails, run wide open BAQs against both the SugPODtl and SugPOChg tables. If Send to Purchasing is selected and you didn't get any errors, SOMETHING should be SOMEWHERE.
