When requisition processing is done outside of the ERP system, then requestors have a hard time collecting approvals, tracking the status of their PRs, communication, correcting errors, etc. All that may cause delays in the operations and particularly in company’s research and development department. R&D engineers do not appreciate time consuming purchasing procedures.

About a decade ago, QAD introduced Global Requisition Module (GRS), an add-on module designed to initiate purchasing process with multiple-line Purchase Requisitions. The new functionality allowed QAD users generate PRs, it has built in multi-level approval workflow, integrated E-mail notification features.

Some QAD customers use GRS module, having their employees to initiate requisitions from ERP application. However some other still could not see a fit to their situation, because of the following:

• All purchase requestors have to be QAD users.
• Purchase requestors have to be trained to use QAD GRS menu, because
• GRS user interface is somewhat cumbersome and prone to errors if users do not know what they are doing
• Poor PR tracking visibility: can’t see PO against approved PR
• User can’t attach a supportive document to the Requisition, for example: product specification or quote from a supplier, etc.

Many efforts are done by many vendors in this area to help QAD users improving the requisition process. Today we are offering a web Requisition application, designed not just to address above listed issues, but also to simplify and speed up purchasing process from user’s stand point, eliminating errors and excessive communication.
