Order supplies

Find a product and add it to a supply request.

MainStem calls a supply request a requisition.

Good to know before you start

Availability varies

Marketplace access, supplier offers and available requisitions depend on your account and permissions. Adding an item does not itself approve or release the requisition. Example prices shown are illustrative, not a quote.

Shop and inspect products in context

Check more than the headline price

Open Shop from Home and search or browse an available marketplace. Open a product to review supplier identity, SKU, unit of measure, packaging, description and purchase controls.

Confirm Quantity To Purchase and check Total Qty, Unit Price and Line Total before choosing Add To Requisition.

Keep the destination explicit

When prompted, choose the intended existing requisition or create a new one. When shopping from an existing requisition, confirm that its context is retained.
