Requesting and ordering products

In Impact Ordering, you browse through electronic catalogs to find goods that you want to order and place these goods in a basket, just as you would browse around a supermarket and place products you want to buy in your shopping basket. When you have collected all the products that you want to order, you submit your basket as a requisition or a purchase request.

Normally a requisition or a purchase request must be approved before it is sent to a supplier as a purchase order. When and by whom a requisition or a purchase request must be approved is determined by approval rules, which are defined by company administrators. An approval rule may specify, for example, that a request that exceeds a specific value must be approved by your direct manager or by the purchasing department.

You can use templates to quickly and easily create requests for products that you frequently order. Other users, such purchasers, can also provide templates that you can use.

You can check the status of your requests at any time. If you have the appropriate rights you can cancel requests or change the quantities and create delivery notes when the goods are delivered.
