Purchase Requisitions Overview

The Purchase Requisition windows found on the Purchasing and My AptaFund menus are used to add, edit, delete, view, approve, disapprove, and cancel all types of requisition: purchase requisitions, and if using the Warehouse module — warehouse requisitions, and replenishment requisitions.

If set up in Purchasing Configuration, AptaFund can check the budget each time a requisition is submitted for approval.

The requisition approval process is set up in the Administration module.

When a purchase requisition (PR) is approved, a purchase order is automatically created from the requisition. The appropriate user can then issue and approve the PO and send it to the appropriate vendor.

AptaFund provides an eCommerce integration with vendors using the cXML punchout technique which is a standard integration technique used by many vendors across the country. This functionality allows users to pick items directly from vendor websites and add them to their purchase requisitions. See About eCommerce for more information.
