Purchase

The Purchase section contains the following tables: Nomenclature (itam_nomenclature), ITAM Demand (itam_demand), and ITAM Demand Item (itam_demand_item).

Use them to create records in the ITAM Demand table for each cost center of the company.

You can use the functionality of the demand item to create a purchase request for the asset that does not have a corresponding nomenclature in the system. To do so, select the Non-standard model checkbox on the demand item form and add the description and average price of the asset needed.
