Keep the Request in context
Keep Request, staff-area location, equipment reference, quantity, facilities review, purchasing decision, receipt and requester confirmation together so the next person can understand the request or record.
When the next step needs a decision
A sample clinic office requests two chairs for the staff training room. Facilities checks the room requirement before purchasing review.
Keep requester confirmation visible
Keep the purchasing decision separate from the requester's confirmation of receipt.
Choose what each person needs
Give the clinic administrator a working view and the office coordinator a review view. Keep Request and staff-area location attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
