Hello.

We are contemplating reviewing purchasing requisition review and
approval systems.  I am interested in any feedback or direction folks
may have...  I am looking to scope out a potential project. 

The major driver in the discussion is simplifying the process (too much
paper) and helping keep track of documents.

Here are some elements I think we would expect...
	- Web based client...but that is not set in stone
	- Create requisition with required information and attach
supporting document(s).
	- Standard workflow based upon requester / requester and
department / type of purchase...
	- Adhoc / exception workflow - maybe
	- Review requisitions - time to process, value, ...
	- Approved requisitions create XA requisitions...
	- Appropriate integration with XA - unit, nature,
vendor(?)...however, methods to handle if some information is not there
(new vendor, ...)
	- Rejection flow..
	- Email integration (send email / summary email that 'you' have
work to do...) - email notification and linking...

I have done a little looking and I have chatted with our affiliate.  Our
affiliate has a viable solution...but I still want to check out the
other side of the fence.  It's my understanding XA doesn't have a
product...yes EAM does...but I don't want to embark upon using EAM for
all my purchasing requisitions...

I have started to check out some third party products...

We are an XA R7 implementation currently.  We do own Integrator but not
Enterprise Integrator -- if that plays into any suggestions.

I appreciate any insight or direction.
