Setting up the Purchasing module

The SunSystems Purchase Requisitioning functions enable you to raise requisitions for purchases, which can pass through a series of approvals, depending on the Requisition Type.

To set up the Purchasing module, you must first understand the stages in the purchasing process.

Use Purchase Business Setup (PBS) to set up the rules and controls for the whole purchase activity in your organization.

Purchase Types allow you to define different types of purchase transactions used in your system.

Purchase Order Presets and Purchase Invoice Presets are used to predefine some or all of the entries in a Purchase Type for purchase orders and invoices.

Requisition Types enable you to define the different types of purchase requisitions used in your system. That is, to define how different purchase requisitions are processed.

Administrators can configure the purchase requisitioning module using Requisition Email Notification Configuration (REM) so that specific users are notified by email of various events in the requisition life cycle.
