New Functionality Added to FTS Requisition

A new functionality has been added to FTS Requisition.

Users will see the Calculate button display in the requisition. Clicking this button will automatically add the total of the Extended Amount of the requisition lines. Previously, the grand total was not visible until the requisition was submitted for approval, which made it challenging to validate correctness of the entries, especially when there were many lines in the requisition. With this new functionality, requesters can check the requisition total anytime as they complete their request.

If the Calculate button does not display in Google Chrome , then try one of the following to reload page:

  1. Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
  2. Hold down Ctrl and press F5.

For all other web browsers, click the Reload button.
