"One process we enabled first was the purchase requisition As part of an organization's internal financial controls, the accounting department may institute a purchase requisition process to help manage requests for purchases. Requests for the creation of purchase of goods and services are documented and routed for approval within the process. We create approximately 10,000 manual purchase requisition line items every year which is very time-consuming and prone to user error. There are only a few individuals who were able to perform the transactions quickly and with all the correct information. If those individuals were absent or unavailable, the helpdesk would receive calls on creating the requisitions, tying up additional resources and delaying the process. By using GuiXT and Input Assistant, we were able to combine screens / transactions tailored specifically to AE, cutting the purchase requisition creation time in half from 8 minutes to 4 minutes," Matt Cook added.
