Understanding Requisition Entry

The Requisition Self Service system provides two programs for entering requisitions:

  • Shopping Cart (P43E25)

  • Requisition Entry (P43E10)

The Shopping Cart program is intended to be used by novice users to create requisitions, either for stock items or for items such as office supplies, using Direct Connect. The Shopping Cart program contains only a few fields that the user must enter; and the system provides default information for most other fields, based on setup.

The Requisition Entry program is designed for more frequent users, such as buyers, and provides more fields and additional options for the requisition, such as flagging the item as a high priority or as a special request. The Requisition Entry program is also designed to allow direct entry of account information.
