Commodity/Accounting Screen

The Commodity/Accounting screen is where you list what you are buying, and what account you are charging it to. This screen is divided into two information blocks, the Commodity block and the Accounting block.

The first thing to do is enter your department's contact information onto your requisition. This will be printed on the PO and will help expedite your order. Follow these steps:

1. Click on the Options menu and select Document Text.

2. You will see a pop-up box that says "Commodity code or description must be entered". Click the OK button to move on.

   

3. Click on the Next Block button to move to the information block.

   

4. Enter your department contact information into the form as shown below. Use the down-arrow key to access a new line.

   When you are done, click on the Save button in the toolbar.

   Once you have saved your changes, click on the Exit button to return to the Requisition form.

   

Note:
If you are charging more than one Fund or Org, you need to uncheck the Document Level Accounting checkbox. If you are charging a single account, skip this step.
