The Requisitions application streamlines the interaction between your purchasing department, the internal users of its services, and your planning and order management systems.

TCM’s Requisitions structure the request for inventory and supply items, institutes a formal approval or rejection process, and eases the clerical effort involved in creating and processing a purchase order. You can use Requisitions to electronically communicate with your buyers and purchasing agents through online entry and editing of requisitions. This allows your purchasing information to flow out with less paperwork and clerical effort, reducing your costs and shortening lead times. You can also flag any critical items for electronic tracking so that you’ll get an email from the system notifying you when the item is received and at every step through the inspection process.

When used with other TCM applications such as MRP, Customer Order Processing, and Inventory Management you can electronically communicate your purchase requirements to your buyers, and allow them to turn these requirements into purchase orders without reentering the information.

If you have a scanner available, you can even electronically attach customer documents to orders with a click of your mouse.
