Exact Globe allows you to create two types of internal use requests, namely standard internal use requests and group internal use requests. A group internal use request is created for requesting items or services to support daily internal processes in an organization. A standard internal use request contains a single item per request whereas a group internal use request contains multiple items per request. You can generate standard internal use requests in multiples but once saved, the requests will be divided into the individual standard internal use requests. For more information on how to create standard internal use requests, see Creating and maintaining internal use requests and Creating multiple internal use requests.
At this screen you can create or maintain a group internal use request. You can retrieve the created requests via Inventory ➔ Entries ➔ Internal use and HR ➔ Entries ➔ Internal use.
