Catalog Searching
A catalog is predefined list of items or services for a supplier as set forth often from a contact.
The catalogs will contain much of the information you’d have to input on non-catalog requisitions (supplier, site, purchasing category, etc.).
Catalog can be searched in Oracle by:
- Agreement number
- Supplier Name
- Description
- Item/Part Number (If Any)
Select Purchase Requisitions from the home screen.
Ensure the business unit (BU) such as Hertz Rent A Car US or Hertz UK HEL, is set to where the requisition is required.
Select the pencil icon next to your name to adjust the BU. Use the while search box to look for supplier, item name or item number.
Or select Shop by Category, select Browse All Catalogs near the bottom of the category list.
Once you are in the Catalog section, use the white box to add supplier name, item number, agreement number.
Note: Changing your view to the list view, will enable you to add or changes the columns to view the supplier item numbers.
Or you can use the tile view, but the supplier item will not show until you click on the item tile.
