Change the Way You Think About Purchasing
eRequester uses a web browser to allow employees to request items they need. Users simply login to the applicable eRequester company and they enter their purchase requisitions into web-based forms. Information, such as vendors, items, GL accounts, shipping, project and other information is available for selection on the requisition. Once the forms are completed, the user submits. Requests are routed for approval through eRequester’s robust routing engine, which sends out an email notification to the next approver in the authorization chain. The approver can click on a link in the email, log in, review, and approve, reject, request more info or require changes. Once approved, requisitions can be edited and/or easily posted into purchase orders. The Purchase Order can then be pulled up in eRequester, sent to the vendor by email, fax or print and then with the eRequester Receiving Module, users can create receipts to facilitate the matching of receipts, invoices and purchase orders.
One Point of Data Entry
eRequester eliminates the delay and double entry of traditional, paper-based requisition processes. Orders only need to be entered into the system once, reducing duplicate efforts. The web-based forms have all the required data fields for a purchase order, with required information for vendors, items, account numbers, quantities, cost, taxes and more. Plus, any requisition can be saved as a Template and/or duplicated and re-used in a new requisition to avoid reentering data.
Faster Turn-Around On Purchases
Inefficiencies in the purchasing process can cost hundreds of dollars in employee time for even one purchase request. eRequester eliminates the need to manually re-enter purchasing data thereby reducing the errors and turnaround time associated with traditional manual processes. The order entry and approval process is streamlined as there are no paper forms lost in the clutter of a manager’s desks, and information is readily available to review and process.
Saves Time and Money
Easy Requisition Creation
Intuitive Approval Process
eRequester makes requisition approval easy and highly flexible. An unlimited number of approval levels can be created based on the company, dollar amount, department, request type and more. eRequester sends email notifications letting approvers know when they have requisitions waiting for approval so they can easily view the details and approve, reject, require changes or request more information. Designated approvers can also edit requisitions after standard approval routing, route for additional approval and add comments to the Requisition History to convey any pertinent information.
Seamless Purchase Order Creation
eRequester web-enables the process for creating purchase orders from approved requisitions by notifying designated users that approved requisitions are waiting to be converted to purchase orders. Users can see all of approved requisitions in a list and batch create the purchase orders or they can be reviewed individually, edited, sent for additional approvals, and then posted in eRequester.
