When a quote request is submitted to a Vendor the vendor can access the online PO form. They can provide their quotation directly on the form and once submitted will notify the requester. If a quote is not supplied in a timely manner the system will automatically send the vendor reminder emails. Once the quote notification email is received the requester can turn the form into a purchase requisition and send a PO request. Once the PO is entered the requester is notified by email. The new PO can then be sent directly the vendor for acceptance. Upon acceptance of the PO terms the requester will be notified with estimated shipment date.

Once a PO is accepted a shipment form is automatically created for the PO items. The Vendor must complete the shipment form once the product ships. If the product does not ship by the estimated ship date the system will send an reminder email to the Vendor. The Vendor must either complete the shipment form or update the estimated ship date. The requester will receive notification when ever the estimated ship date is changed or the product ships. Upon recieving the order the requester will mark the date received and the Vendor will be notified of the order receive status.

Scheduling can be done on time line or calendar pages. Additions or changes to scheduled events will notify the assigned user of that event.
