Requisition Entry

 

Overview:

  • Review Board Policies 3300 through 3315 for information on purchasing items.
  • Two types of Requisitions can be entered: to Vendors to purchase items and to the District Warehouse for Custodial Supplies and paper (called a “Pick Ticket”). Reference the Knowledge Base document titled Pick Ticket Entry for more information on Pick Tickets.
  • MSBSD uses custom forms in Requisition Entry. Select the form you want to use by clicking “Switch Form” in the Requisition Entry toolbar icon. For Requisitions that are sent to vendors, use MSD_REQ.
  • Use ALL CAPS when entering requisitions.
  • GL account only, no project string: Split requisitions between more than one account if necessary.
  • Project Strings (Example: SSASR Projects & Student Allotment Projects): Split requisitions between more than one account and project string if necessary.
