Why Catalogue Mode
Catalogue Mode is an add-on to the requisition feature that helps internal suppliers manage and control stock requests more easily. Once Catalogue Mode is enabled and set up, destination outlets can view stock items in the catalogue—even if those items are not currently available in their own outlet.
Tip: For more details on how staff in destination outlets allocate items from a catalogue, see Catalogue Mode for Destination Outlets.
From the supplier side, you can also allocate stock directly from the catalogue to destination outlets while creating and sending a requisition. This gives internal suppliers the flexibility to easily allocate stock during the requisition process.
Allocating Stock from the Catalogue in the Supplier Outlet via Requisitions
To allocate stock from the supplier outlet’s catalogue to a destination outlet, navigate to Stock then select Requisition, and then click +New.
Set the To Department and From Department, then click +New again.
Note: The From Department must be in a requisition supplier outlet with Catalogue Mode enabled. More details of setting up a catalogue can be found in Creating a Catalogue for an internal Requisition Supplier.
In the Stock by Supplier tab, stock descriptions appear in either red or black.
- Red means the stock is not available in the destination outlet
- Black means the stock is already available in the destination outlet
You can select any items, regardless of color, and click Select.
If you choose items not available in the destination outlet, a notification will appear asking you to confirm whether to allocate them:
- Select Yes to allocate the items and add them to the requisition order.
- Select No to cancel and return to the requisition detail window.
Note: You can still allocate requisition stocks to other outlets by navigating to License, selecting Database, and then choosing Requisition Stock Allocation. For more details, see Creating a Requisition Supplier.
After adding all the items, update their quantities as needed. Then click either Submit for Approval or Delivery to finalize the requisition order.
