HowtoEnteraQuickRequisition�

Objective This document provides step-by-step instruction on how to enter a quick requisition into the Munis Requisition Entry program. It assumes that the user may need to modify default information provided by the system, but uses a minimal amount of options available in the program. It is intended for a user who already has a basic understanding of the Munis Requisition Entry program.

Overview By entering a requisition, you are requesting funds to make a purchase. As soon as the requisition is entered with an expense account, the funds are set aside, or “pre-encumbered” in the General Ledger account. After the requisition is released, it goes through the approval process (workflow) after which it is converted into a purchase order. The PO is sent to the vendor as authorization to provide the goods or services requested.

Prerequisites Permissions and Menu Access for Requisition Entry as well as: A vendor name or vendor number from which you would like to purchase the items. The proper General Ledger expense account(s) that will be used for the intended purchase. The quantity, price, and description of what the user would like to requisition.
