What is it?
A Requisitioner in eShop is anyone who needs to purchase an item, whether it’s office supplies for the department, or lab supplies for a research project. This could be a departmental administrator or a researcher or anyone who needs to fill out a form in eShop or shop any of the catalogues. To be a Requisitioner, the user must have financial access to at least one funding source, otherwise, their role will be restricted to shopper status.
Shopper status will allow a user to shop and create a cart, but instead of checking out, the shopper will assign his or her cart to a valid Requisitioner.
Why is it important?
Requisitioners are responsible for understanding the Procurement Policy and following it in the course of procuring goods or services. They should also understand the Accounts Payable process, to ensure timely receipting and payment once goods or services are received or completed.
