1 REQUISITION INITIATOR TRAINING A GUIDE TO COMPLETING REQUISITIONS, INQUIRING ABOUT REQUISITIONS STATUS, AND RUNNING REQUISITIONS REPORTS 11/29/2017 1

2 STARTING THE REQUISITION PROCESS Login to Colleague using your NetID username and password. Click on the NAVIGATION tab at the top of the screen and change the Application dropdown to CF, if it s not already there. Click on PU-Purchasing. Click on REQ-Requisitions then click on REQM-Requisition Maintenance. Note: Increase and decreases to outstanding purchase orders require Purchasing to do a Change Order. The increases require a new requisition to be created and approved at which time the Purchasing Department will make the increase to the PO and delete the requisition. The PO is printed and mailed to the vendor. Decreases require only an from the department requesting a decrease. Once completed, the PO will be printed and mailed to the vendor. 2

3 LOG-IN SCREENSHOTS 3

4 BEGINNING YOUR REQUISITION To begin a new requisition enter A to add. If you are working with an existing requisition, enter the requisition #. In the next pop-up, simply press Enter or click OK. This will assign the requisition number automatically. 4

5 REQUIRED FIELDS ON REQS Requisition Date The current date is automatically populated after you press Enter. Initiator Type your employee ID number or username to populate the field with your full name. 5

6 VENDOR LOOKUP If you know your vendor s Colleague ID number, type it into the Vendor ID field. To lookup a vendor by name, type a portion of the name or all of it in the Vendor ID field. In this example, we typed Home Depot and received multiple results. This occurs because of duplicate entries or different branches. 6

7 VENDOR LOOKUP If the vendor address does not match the address on your quote, simply Detail into the address line to see if there are more addresses entered in the system for your vendor. If you cannot find the vendor in the vendor database, you may manually type it in starting with the Name field. Please input the data in the correct fields. All new vendors must register online in VendorLink and provide the required documentation and a copy of their insurance policy, if required, before a purchase order can be issued to them. New vendors must register online via the HCC Purchasing Department s website at: by clicking on Vendor Registration. 7

8 CENTRAL RECEIVING All items being shipped to the College must go through the Brandon Campus Central Receiving Warehouse except for the following: A. Products/materials which will be installed onsite by the vendor. B. Services and/or non-physical items on Blanket Purchase Orders. C. Emergency items that impact the safety of the students, faculty, and staff. Duplication of Orders - We occasionally get duplications on orders. This is due to staff members placing the order before or after the PO has been issued. The vendor receives the PO and also fills the order placed over the phone by the staff member. Departments should not order items in the absence of a signed HCC Purchase Order issued by the HCC Purchasing Department. If you would like to know about your order status, please contact Purchasing staff, who will follow-up with the vendor or you may contact the vendor directly. If you place an order over the phone, you must give the vendor the HCC PO number with a warning not to duplicate the order upon receipt of the hardcopy PO. 8

9 CENTRAL RECEIVING CONTINUED DO NOT CHANGE THE DELIVERY ADDRESS BY PHONE FROM CENTRAL RECEIVING TO YOUR OFFICE. This causes a delay in the payment process to vendors and creates unnecessary paperwork for your department and the Accounts Payable Department. Goods ordered on a Purchase Order that starts with the letter P must be shipped to Central Receiving. 9

10 CENTRAL RECEIVING CONTINUED In the event the Ship To must be your physical address you may input SA (See Above Text for Delivery) in the Ship To field or enter an ellipsis to perform a lookup to see if your address is listed. If your address in not listed, use the SA (See Above Text for Delivery) for your delivery address. Your name and address must be typed into the Printed Comments field on the requisition. This will be covered later in the training. Enter your selection number in the Input box and click Open. 10

11 BUYER SELECTION Leave the Buyer field blank unless you know who will be processing your requisition in the Purchasing Department. If you know which Purchasing staff member will be processing your requisition, type their name into the Buyer field and press Enter. 11
