eStores Adds New Feature - eQuote

Effective Monday, February 2, 2009, shopping lists created from eStores catalogs on the iBuy website will become electronic "eQuotes" with assigned quote numbers.

So, how does this work?
Once the user completes their shopping list within eStores, they will be able to send an email copy of the eQuote to themselves, departmental requisitioners and any other recipient they designate.

What does this mean to a requisitioner?
Departmental requisitioners who receive these eQuotes will be able to retrieve the quotes from within the PeopleSoft system and import the data into the requisition pages with one click. eQuotes can be retrieved by any PeopleSoft requisitioner by quote number, user name or user email address. Quotes will remain available inside the PeopleSoft system for seven calendar days.

This enhancement to the eStores system not only simplifies the order entry process, but also reduces the time it takes to place an order with eStores suppliers.

*Catalogs are not integrated with PeopleSoft.
