Requisition Management

Requisition management software minimizes the complexity of purchasing multiple products from a wide range of suppliers. Rather than relying on email and spreadsheets, you can use requisition software to automate the way you gather requests, obtain vendor bids, create quotes, approve quotes, manage purchases, and fulfill orders in one online location.

How Requisition Management can work for you

Acumatica Requisition Management software helps you streamline your most complex purchasing processes as you serve the needs of internal or external clients. Because our purchase requisition software integrates with other Acumatica modules, you can eliminate paperwork while providing your sales, service, shipping, receiving, management, and other teams with visibility into your requisition processes.

Streamline and automate the vendor bidding process for stock and non-stock items. Email requests to vendors, collect bids electronically, and convert winning bids directly into purchase orders.

Key Benefits of Requisition Management software for your Company

Automate the entire process including order collection, supplier bids, sending and approving quotes, issuing purchase orders, receiving goods, and more.

  • Sales Quotes

    Create sales quotes based on catalog pricing or cost plus algorithms. Print or email quotes to customers. Automatically generate sales orders and purchase orders to complete sales activities.

Important Features of Requisition Management Software

Purchasing Integration

Automatically create purchase orders in the purchase order module from approved requisitions.

Predefined Request Lists

Limit requests to a specific list of inventory items by user.

Hide Inventory Items

Optionally hide your product catalog from users, requiring manual item entry.

Collect and Organize Requests

Bundle requests from multiple sources in a single requisition. Create approval rules based on quantity, request amount, or other factors.

Request Classes

Vendor Definition

Requests and requisitions may be specified for a defined vendor or created to solicit request for quote (RFQ) information from multiple vendors, including those who may not be already established in the system.

Expiration Dates

Capture vendor RFQ expiration dates for quotes. Create Generic Inquiries, dashboards, and business events to notify employees when RFQ expiration dates require their attention.

"The intercompany module is super easy to use. It’s easy to bounce back and forth from one company to another without needing all new passwords, new usernames, and different log ins. Now I can do a report that rolls everything up rather than wasting time manually tracking things on Excel and using a calculator."
