W HY DO REQUI SI TI ONS?

A requisition does not post anything to account balances. You can give users access to just the requisition menu and limit the accounts they can enter. The user enters their request using the requisition input program, which is just like the PO entry. A manager can approve a range of requisitions or one requisition at a time. Once the requisition is approved, it becomes a PO without further input. The PO can then go through the normal approval process.

APPROVI NG USER SETUP

This program is on the Chart of Accounts Maintenance menu. You will need to know the user ID and work area. Contact RESA for the work area. The Routing Level is a number 1‐9 as to the order the user should view the PO. A user with a 1 Routing Level will view the PO first. Enter the Account numbers they would be responsible for approving. Note that you can use ?? logic. Authority A means they are a final approver. P means they are a pre‐approver. If the approver can approve any amount, leave the Maximum amount as zero. If you want to

• nly allow the user to approve up to a certain amount, enter the maximum amount they

can approve or pre‐approve. If the PO exceeds this amount, they will be skipped in the approval process.
