Setting up and configuring request functions

In order to request products in the Web Portal, the Web Portal must be set up accordingly.

Application roles help you to define who can take over administrative tasks in the Web Portal.

Structure and workflow of requests

A shop is the top element in the hierarchical structure that is required for requesting products. A shop can contain several shelves. Products are assigned to these shelves and can then be requested.

Products can be grouped into service categories. Identities can select products from a service catalog in the Web Portal, add them to a cart, and submit a purchase request.

Requests follow a defined approval process that determines whether a product may be assigned or not. Authorized identities have the option to approve requests and cancellations. You determine which approval process to use by assigning approval policies to shops or shelves (see Editing shop details and Editing shelf details ).
