At Winsted Company the following procedures are used to enter purchase requisitions (PRs).
Clerks in the purchasing department receive purchase requisitions (PRs) from departments throughout Winsted's home office. The PRs are handwritten on forms specially designed for this purpose. The clerks enter these into preformatted screens on PCs that are connected to the central computer.

Once recorded the computer forwards the PRs to appropriate managers who can approve the PRs online. Approving individuals enter their approvals (or denials). PRs that are not approved are sent back to the purchasing clerks for corrective action.
