Requisition creation whether this fulfils their entire requirement or not.

7. The new errors/Problems/modification is expected during this stage. This may again require

Purchase Requisition to RFQ to Quotation to PO to Receipts to Mover-Order etc..

9. Once this is done, Module wise Integration is tested parallel from Purchasing to Inventory to
AP, GL etc...

10. Once the system functionality is ok and satisfied by the user, the data conversion activity

has to be taken by the process owner.

14. Repeat all the Steps in the Production Instance.

15. End User Training
