Please change requisition entry so a requisition cannot be approved when entering a vendor that is not active in the system. They should receive an error or be prompted to contact Finance to re-active the supplier. Also please do not allow the user to manually type in the requisition a new vendor name that does not already exist in the system. They should only be able to select a vendor that has an existing vendor file. The vendor number field should be mandatory and cannot be left blank.
We like that you can enter a requisition and begin the approval ladder process before the vendor is finished being created. It allows us to reduce the time it takes to issue the PO once the vendor is created. You don't have to wait to create the vendor and then start the requisition process- allowing the two processes to move along contemporaneously. If this is implemented, please make it an option to switch on or off.
