On-line Purchase Requisitions

The University of Iowa on-line PReqs system is a primary vehicle for goods or services to be acquired from an off campus supplier.

Catalog Orders will be 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.
