Creating and Managing Order Sheets

eProcurement Administrators can create order sheets for different GL business units at the Set ID level and authorize requesters to the order sheets. To create order sheets and access them, an eProcurement administrator must be assigned to the Permission List EPPV6500. To use any new order sheet component, it must be registered as a menu on the Permission Lists page.

You can navigate to the Personalize Homepage, and add the Administer Order Sheets tile to the required home page, if it does not display even after you are assigned to the Permission List.

Use the Administer Order Sheets tile to access the Manage Order Sheets, Order Sheets By Requester, and Order Sheet Processes tiles for creating and managing order sheets.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Administer Order Sheets Tiles.
