Are you drowning in paperwork? Do you have more PO's and requisition forms on your desk the person in the picture at Deskbound Dan?
It might be time to think about obtaining specialized Purchasing software for your department. Keeping track of paper requisitions before and after they reach Purchasing is a nightmare that you can now avoid. An electronic system would instantly allow end users to view and track their own reqs from initiation to PO creation. It's time to officially declare war on the days of frantically searching an old file cabinet for that elusive piece of paper. (You'll be extra glad when those corporate auditors come along looking for backup if you can easily call up anything you need online.)
You should survey the market and find the right system for your needs and budget. I strongly advise against a homegrown system. They always sounds so much better at first because you think you'll get exactly what you want right from the design stage. That's not the reality. You will be severely limited by your two enemies: the development budget and time.
