Configure E-requests from non-depot locations

Configure E-Request without Approvals

OpenBoxes ka configuré pou pèmèt itilizatè yo soti nan kote deyò sistèm lan ouvri sesyon an epi soumèt yon demann nan yon depo. Yo nan lòd yo pèmèt karakteristik sa a, administratè a dwe ajiste pèmisyon an pou itilizatè a ak pou kote a.

  1. Add or update the requesting location in OpenBoxes

Si kote demann lan poko egziste nan OpenBoxes, ajoute kote a kòm yon dispansè oswa yon pawas. Sou tab konfigirasyon an, un-tcheke bwat yo "Sèvi ak anviwònman default" bwat. Sa a pral pèmèt ou edite aktivite yo sipòte pou kote a. Ajoute "demann soumèt" sipòte aktivite ak laprès sove.

Itilizatè yo ak otorizasyon yo dwa kapab kounye a wè ak ouvri sesyon an nan kote sa a pou bi pou yo soumèt demann. Kote sa a pa pral swiv envantè, epi yo pral sèlman pèmèt itilizatè yo wè demann anons ak soumèt nouvo demann.

  1. Add or update requesting users

If the person who will be submitting requests does not have an account in OpenBoxes, create one. On the authorization page, set the default role as "no access" and add a location role. Choose the requesting location and add the role "Requestor" and "Manager". Press save.

Location Role of Manager and Requestor

This user will now be able to see this location and only this location in the location chooser. They will be able to log in and submit a request. If you want a user to be able to submit requests from multiple locations, or view other OpenBoxes data, you can add additional default or location specific permissions that will expand the user's permissions.

Configure E-Request with Approvals

If your facility's process involves approving the Requisition requests before sending them to the fulfilling depots, you can also turn on the Approvals feature with the E-Request. This feature allows a Requestor to submit the E-Request for approval and an Approver to approve/reject the E-Request before the fulfilling depot fulfills the request.

The Approval feature must be turned on for the fulfilling location: this allows all the e-requests submitted for that fulfilling location to be created, approved, and submitted.


  1. Turn ON Approval function for Fulfilling Location

    Go to the Locations Configuration tab for the fulfilling Depot. Add "Approve Request" as a Supported Activity.

    You will see a validation message that also asks you to add Approvers for the fulfilling location.
