Purchase Requisition Automation
Requisition & Purchase Order Automation gives you full control over indirect spend.

- Employees have the ability to quickly find the right product, at the right price, from the right vendor – all with management oversight

Stay in control of your company’s purchases. Indirect materials may make up only 15-20% of a company’s purchases, but they stand for 70-80% of problems associated with invoicing. Maverick or unapproved purchases serve as a reminder that indirect spending needs to be managed.
Control your spend and reduce maverick buying
Purchase orders generated by Palette’s automated purchase requisitions are automatically delivered to vendors after they have been approved.
Both internal purchase orders generated by Palette and external purchase orders are located in one place – taking advantage of reporting and PO matching.
Two and Three Way PO Matching
The solution automatically matches internal and external purchase orders, supplier invoices, and goods receipts. This saves an extraordinary amount of time – given the average time to manually match a purchase order is 15 minutes.
Exceptions are flagged for reconciliation and an approval workflow sends the exception to the appropriate approver. An audit trail keeps track of each step in the process.
Reporting
Users can select from a long list of search criteria that can be used to generate custom reports. Tracking supplier performance, commodity purchases, matching statistics, vendor spend etc. can all be facilitated in the reporting system.
All reports provide a summary result set which can be drilled into to see specific details and actual images.
- Employees purchase goods and services within a set budget
- Purchases can be limited to preferred and properly approved suppliers
- Generate better information for price and contract negotiations
