The contents are designed for users who need to create and manage Purchase Requisitions, Receipts and Manage Orders.
It provides a source of reference for all requisitioning activities and is laid out in easy to follow sections which cover each topic using a step by step approach.

• Building Requisitions (Shopping Basket ) by Searching for Items to add or Adding non-catalogue Items.
• Managing the detail of the Basket (delivery information, quantity, price) setting the Finance Accounts that will pay for the line items and adding Comments, Attachments and Item Information required by suppliers and approvers.
• Submitting the Requisition (Basket) for approval which are then turned into orders that are transmitted to suppliers.
• PECOS enables each organisation to apply its business approval processes and rules to the submitted requisitions and orders which may result in these being Returned for amendment or Cancellation.

When there are orders that repeat on a regular basis PECOS supports this through both:

• Blanket Orders (also referred to as "Contract Orders" or "Call-Off Orders")
  and 
• Templates (list of line items that are ordered on a regular basis which can be shared or saved as private)

Once submitted, users will need to find their documents (requisitions, orders or related invoices) using the Document Search so they can undertake further processing such as:

• Check their Status
• Record Receipts or Returns of line items
• Process Change Orders
• Entering and Settling Invoices

Occasionally an order or a requisition needs to be Cancelled

For detail on the generic elements of PECOS you should  explore  the specific help on using PECOS  or the additional module on PECOS Reporting .

For Administrators who configure the PECOS application suite they should reference Administering PECOS.
