Purchase Request

You use this module if you wish to give notification of requirements of materials and/or external services and keep track of such requirements.

Requests can be created either directly or indirectly. "Directly" means that someone from the requesting department enters a purchase request manually.

The person creating the requisition determines what and how much to order, and the requested date.

"Indirectly" means that the purchase request initiated by the application automatically, for example, from procurement orders.

A purchase request is an instruction to Purchasing to procure a certain quantity of materials services, so that they are available at a certain point in time.

A line of a requisition contains the quantity and requested date of the material to be supplied or the quantity of the service to be performed. You can indicate the service specifications if needed.
