Your Procurement just became easier...

On January 14, 2008, the UIHC and Purchasing Department implemented the new PeopleSoft Inventory and Purchasing System.  PReqs (Purchase Requisition System) is the system used for ordering supplies from Processed Stores and Pharmacy as well as directly from vendors.

Supplies were ordered from Processed Stores in a number of ways – using Item Master, calling in and faxing orders, or sending them down on paper requisitions.  PReqs will replace these methods.

The new Catalog Orders is used for Items Sourcing from a Warehouse and Items Sourcing from a Vendor that have a PeopleSoft UI Item number.  With this new functionality you will be able to place orders for items without knowing or caring if they are stocked in the warehouse or purchased from an external vendor.  The system will make this determination and create multiple requisitions when necessary.
