Goods/Services Requests

Overview

This section is to provide a unique entry point of registering and processing goods and services requests based on a workflow that starts in the Institution Unit where the goods and services are  required. The registry process will provide a helpful feature based on souring packages which are predefined sets of Inventory Items (this is applicable only for Inventory type Goods) with  predefined specific quantities. The Asset and Inventory Departments will be responsible for identifying the warehouse suppliers based on suggested warehouses provided by the system.  Finally the warehouses will be responsible of the delivery process made through a 'Dispatch Order'.  Each requested Item will have an individual progress of the supply process, meaning that partial delivery of Goods/Services Requests is allowed, updating the Good and Services Request status to 'Delivered' when all its related items have been fully delivered to the Institution Unit.

When there is no availability of the items requested (in the case of goods)  or for the case of Replenishment Requests (from a particular Warehouse), the system will mark those items as candidates for a Purchase Requisition, and once this PR has been issued by the Purchasing Department Responsible (initially this will be generating the PR to the FA Classic Application), the system will update via webservice the PR number as a reference to the Goods/Services Request Item, and this will be link between AA and FA.
