Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  package: Release 7.6.1.3 of Base Services
  If the Desktop Requisition is for a work order, the "Created for
  WO 1000" Description will be used on the Inventory Usage
  document. If the requisition does not have a work order number,
  then the new message "Created for requisition 1200" will be used
  to set the Description on the Inventory Usage record.
