Management Material Requirements from Purchasing to Job Costing

Crows Nest conforms to procurement best practices with the separation of Requisitioning and Purchasing. While Requisitions are not obligations to the company, issued Purchased Orders are, therefore access to Crows Nest Purchasing is limited via granted permissions.

Requisitions submitted to purchasing may contain its respective budgetary pricing from Estimating for procurement negotiation. Further, submitted requisitions may be rejected in Crows Nest Purchasing when appropriate. Requisitions are submitted to the MR Queue in Purchasing where the requisition may be fulfilled from available inventory or through Purchase Order creation.
