How To Create An Order
There are 3 ways to create an order, Punchout, Catalog, and Manual cart.
All orders processed through Prendio start as a Cart. When that Cart is submitted the Cart is Closed and a Requisition is created. The Req may need to go through Approvals first but when it reaches the BioProcure Buyer and is Confirmed with the Supplier, a PO Number is assigned.
Once an order is placed, the Prendio Three-way Match must be Complete to be processed through Prendio. This match consists of the PO + Packing Slip + Invoice.
