Learn how to create a Requisition from a Single Supplier.
The 'Single Supplier' Requisition type provides you with a list of all the products and prices currently available to your Organization from the single Supplier that you select.
1. You can create a Requisition from multiple locations in PurchasePlus.
a. Click [Requisitions] → [New Requisition] from the side navigation bar.
b. Click [Start Shopping] from the Home Dashboard.
c. Click [Purchase Orders] → [New Purchase Order] from the side navigation bar. This will redirect you to a new Requisition.
2. You will arrive at the Create New Purchase Requisition form.
a. Enter a [Reference] to briefly describe the Requisition.
b. Select [Single Supplier] in the Requisition Type section, this will cause more options to appear.
c. Select the Supplier of your choice from the Supplier dropdown menu.
d. Complete all other fields in the Create Requisition form as required.
e. Click [Create Requisition].
3. Complete your Requisition in 'Basic Shopping' mode or 'Advanced Shopping' mode.
- Basic Shopping provides a familiar online shopping experience for users. You can view and select products in a Tile or List View, with each Supplier quote appearing as a separate item. Review your selected products in the Shopping Cart before submitting the Requisition. See our Basic Shopping article to learn more.
- Advanced Shopping provides a powerful way to view and compare prices from your Suppliers and quickly select a Supplier quote. It is suited to experienced users of PurchasePlus. See our Advanced Shopping article to learn more.
4. Click [View Cart] when you have completed your Requisition if you chose Basic Shopping mode. You will be able to view and edit all the Products and quantities in the Requisition. Once you are happy with the Requisition, click [Submit Requisition] located at the top-right hand side of the Cart page.
If you created the Requisition in Advanced Shopping mode, the [View Cart] button is replaced by a [Submit Requisition] button, and you will skip this step.
5. You will be taken to a confirmation page, where you have the opportunity to review the Requisition Settings and make changes if required, before clicking [Submit for Approval] at the bottom of the page.
This will place the Requisition Approval Workflow that has been configured for your Department. The Requisition will remain in an 'Awaiting Approval' stage until an Approver logs in and Approves the Requisition.
