The employee self-service procurement portal is a tool for employees to easily find products available for self-service procurement and create purchase requests with pre-defined information.
Use this activity to find the products that you need to procure. This could either be done using a free text search (see tips below), using the regular filters on the columns in the page or by browsing the structure of categories defined for the catalog. You could also select and filter on favorite products or look at orders previously created.
The free text search is based on oracle text search and you can use different operators to refine your search results.
A self-service catalog must have been created and published.
As a result of this activity you have identified the products or services to add to the shopping cart.
