Percentage of purchase requisition line items allocated among the following request method: other
This measure calculates the percentage of individual purchase requisition line items that were issued via methods other than electronic, paper, telephone, etc. to an internal purchasing department or vendor. A purchase requisition is generated when a department requires good or services. Each item by line is considered an individual purchase requisition line item. This means that one line requesting three one-gallon buckets of red paint and a second line requesting five one-gallon buckets of white paint would constitute two line items. As part of a set of Supplemental Information measures, this measure helps companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "procure materials and services" process.
