Please consider that adopting a purely electronic approval process as soon as possible for ART will reduce the work load on Purchasing Officers and will substantially stop the duplication of work.
In a purely electronic approval process Pronto can send an email to you (or your delegate) immediately after the Purchasing Officer completes the Purchase Order or the Purchasing Officer can simply inform you that a Purchase Order requires approval.
Please note that if the Purchase Order is not approved it cannot be printed from Pronto.
I have removed all references to a “Purchase Request” and “Purchase Requisition” from the Work Instructions and issued new Work Instructions for “Purchase Order Approval Version 2” and “Print Purchase Order”, please see attached.
