Pricing purchase items

If you are a purchasing agent and are responsible for pricing purchase requisitions and processing purchase orders, use the Purchasing console. The Purchasing User permission gives you access to the Purchasing console. You can have access to the Purchasing console without full access to BMC Asset Management.

In addition to being able to show your own purchase requisitions, from the Show menu, you can choose to show:

• Requisitions to Price
• Orders to Place
• Orders already Placed

The navigation pane provides you with two additional links: Search Order and Reports.
