Jay,
I tested that out and it works fine. The "approver" has complete access to change vendor and pricing, and the PO Suggestion isn't created until that approver selects "create purchase order".
You'd probably want to test it further on your own, but it looks good from here.

Our biggest issue was having no-inventory part numbers go to the correct GL account, but once that was nicked it's pretty easy. I tell the users to put enough information in the Part Number and Description fields so that the buyers can call the vendor and say "I want this", and the vendor understands what she means. The users DO have to enter a vendor.

The GM, Production Manager, and Purchaser at my company are trying to develop a standard requisition procedure and are wondering if our ERP software can fill the need. We currently do not use the Requisition modules in Vantage, so I am completely unfamiliar with them. Currently, if you need something, you simply email the Purchaser and he orders it (I bet you're all shocked that this procedure was being abused).

How are other companies accomplishing requisitions of odd or one-off requests? Do you guys really enter Vendor and Part information every time someone needs to request office supplies? Or are you accomplishing it outside of Epicor or some other way?
