Welcome to Syncor
Syncor is your organization's procurement platform. It streamlines the entire process of requesting, approving, and tracking purchases — from browsing a product catalog to receiving delivery confirmations.
What You Can Do in Syncor
Depending on your role, you'll have access to different features:
| Role | Key Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Requester | Browse products, create purchase requests, track order status, create sourcing requests |

note
Your administrator assigns roles and permissions. You may have one or more roles simultaneously. The sidebar navigation and dashboard widgets automatically adjust to show only what's relevant to you.
Key Concepts
- Purchase Request (PR): A formal request to purchase products. Each PR has a unique number (e.g., PR-MFM-000134) and goes through an approval workflow before being processed.
- Requisition: Another term for a purchase request. In Syncor, "requisition" and "purchase request" are used interchangeably.
- Site: Your organizational unit or location. Products, budgets, and contracts are associated with sites.
- Contract: A purchasing agreement that may be tied to your site. Contracts can affect which products are available and at what price.
- Approval Workflow: The sequence of approvers who must review your purchase request before it's processed.
