Which role is primarily responsible for initiating a Purchase Requisition in GFEBS?

The role primarily responsible for initiating a Purchase Requisition in GFEBS is the requesting user. This individual identifies a need for goods or services and is responsible for providing the necessary details to initiate the purchasing process. The requesting user typically is the person or department that will utilize the requested items, ensuring that their needs are accurately reflected in the requisition.

In GFEBS, the process starts with this user gathering information on what is required, which may include specifications, quantities, and urgency. This foundational step is critical because it sets the tone for the rest of the procurement cycle. The requisition created by this user is then submitted for approval before the purchasing process can take place.

Other roles, such as finance team members, vendors, and asset managers, have different responsibilities within the procurement process. The finance team may handle budget compliance and financial tracking, the vendor is responsible for supplying the requested goods once an order is placed, and the asset manager typically oversees the lifecycle of assets within an organization, but each of these roles does not initiate the requisition itself.
