Human Factors; Procedure
Rejected takeoff 18R by 85 knots due to disagreement between First Officer (FO) and Captain Flight Mode Annunciator (FMA). FO called out 'no SRS (Speed Reference System).' Exited runway; accomplished checklists and waited for brakes to cool before uneventful 2nd takeoff attempt. ATC gave us a transponder code as we forgot we didn't get a PDC. I asked FO to confirm clearance to Destination. We were rushed and didn't notice the FO flight director was in flight path vector. Rejected takeoff; got our SA (Situational Awareness) back.Should have asked the tower for more time i.e.: hold on taxiway to get both pilots back in the loop.
Flight was advised that they had failed to obtain a PDC; which resulted in a rushed pre-departure cockpit environment at the runway. The aircraft was not properly configured resulting in a low speed rejected takeoff.
