Ordering using Solomon Requisition system.

This document attempts to describe how to make purchase orders via the Solomon (Microsoft Dynamics SL) system. This document is aimed at the most Epping staff who regularly order supplies. Site staff will normally use an alternative technique. Epping staff who do not normally order supplies and are making a one-off purchase may be better off asking their supervisor to order for them.

In the Solomon scheme of things - you will be submitting a "Requisition".

Accessing the Solomon requisitions screen.

Again - some details may be different from you (you don't get to see things you can't do).
