Requisitions and purchase orders

Staff order in Vendoro from a shopping cart built from their location’s order guide or the whole catalog. The cart shows each line’s GL account and the budget impact before it’s sent, and splits across suppliers automatically. Approved requisitions become purchase orders, sent to each supplier as a PDF with a link into the supplier portal.
