Requisition Manager

Thanks to Jo-Ann Becker for her thorough presentation that taught us how to enter requisitions the 21st century way! From this point forward, librarians will enter their requisitions using the program. Let me know when one is pending, and I will review it for approval.

A few items to remember for long lists so you don't have to include every item in the description box:

1. For a long list of items such as a Follett book order, indicate in the description that the list will be submitted separately.

2. Indicate what the list will include--i.e. books, supplies, etc.

3. For those of you who order online, write "Open Purchase Order for titles to be submitted online". (This only holds true for book vendors who notoriously don't/can't fill an entire order, thereby allowing you to submit additional titles later).

4. After you complete the requisition and it is approved, there is a quick turn-around to convert it to a purchase order. The actual p.o. will be sent to your school's main office. All you need to do is check Requisition Manager, locate the purchase order number, and write it on each of the five copies of your list that you will be sending to the purchasing dept.

5. Whenever you are submitting a separate list of items to purchasing, make an additional copy for me and inter-office it.

If a vendor you would like to use is not on the list, you'll have to complete a special form. You can find it in Library M in a folder called Requisitions. Also in this folder is a set of instructions prepared by Barbara Spiritus.
