  • January 21 -- Introduction to Purchase Requisitions - Using the latest version of QSS ControlCenter (QCC), get a quick overview of the features available in QSS/OASIS related to purchase requisitions, focusing on the process of using the Requisitions tab of the Purchase Orders / Requisitions module to create a requisition and turn it into a purchase order.
  • February 18 -- Remote Purchase Requisitions - Using the latest version of QSS ControlCenter (QCC), learn how the "remote entry" process can be used to allow a clerk at a school site to create a requisition, have a remote administrator approve it, then have Purchasing turn it into a purchase order.
  • March 25 -- Introduction to Purchase Requisition Routing - The optional QSS/OASIS Purchase Requisition Routing system enables a district to define electronic routes that move requisitions through multiple levels of approval by more than one person or department within the organization before a purchase order number is assigned. Using the latest version of QSS ControlCenter (QCC), get a quick overview of the complicated setup required to implement this system, focusing on Requisition Routing Master Files and the Queue Management tab of the Purchase Orders / Requisitions module.
  • April 15 -- QCC Stores - Introduction and Overview - Using the latest version of QSS ControlCenter (QCC), get an introduction to and overview of the QSS/OASIS module that enables a district to maintain warehouses and stock records, including the master file setup, creating stores requisitions, filling stores orders, and executing Stores reports and other processes.
  • May 13 -- QCC Fixed Assets and Receiving for Purchasing - Introduction and Overview - Using the latest version of QSS ControlCenter (QCC), get an introduction to and overview of the QSS/OASIS module that enables a district to maintain fixed asset records, including the master file setup and running Fixed Assets jobs and reports. The Post Receipt of Purchase Order Items module (named PR0002 in the traditional version of QSS/OASIS), which enables a district to post receipts against POs created with the Requisitions tab of the Purchase Orders / Requisitions module, is scheduled to be completed in QCC prior to this webinar.
