How It Works
Once you activate your account's Purchasing Management capability, you can then add other accounts to your Purchasing Management program. These other accounts can be thought of as Requisitioner accounts, and can be new or existing R.S. Hughes accounts.
When you add Requisitioner accounts to your Purchasing Management, orders placed by those accounts, where your 'On Account' payment method is selected, will be forwarded to you for approval and payment. If needed, the order can be edited (add and remove items, change quantities, etc.) before it is approved.
Each account can have an Order and Monthly Budget spending threshold. If an order totals less than the Order and Monthly Budget threshold, it is automatically approved. For an account with $0 thresholds, all orders submitted to you by that account, must be specifically approved by you. Pending orders are emailed to you, with links that let you approve / edit / reject the order via your PM overview page.
