Dear [FirstName],

We are contacting you because our records indicate you are the primary contact for [organization name] and your organization uses eRequisitions, our online requisition product. With the release of The Financial Edge 7.77 later this year, eRequisitions will be replaced by WebPurchasing. Please share this information with other users at your organization.

WebPurchasing offers many new features and implemented customer suggestions, including:

  • User-friendly navigation
  • Enhanced product searching
  • Multi-level approval workflows
  • Ability to create requisitions without selecting from a product list
  • Ability to log in with your Windows user name and password
  • Password reset functionality
  • Increased password security requirements

WebPurchasing will be available with the release of The Financial Edge 7.77 as a benefit of your maintenance plan. Transitioning to WebPurchasing requires careful planning. It is important for your organization to be prepared because once you update to version 7.77, eRequisitions will no longer be compatible with The Financial Edge. We are finalizing transition planning documentation as well as user guides and installation guides, and we will email you once this documentation is available.

Take these steps before updating to The Financial Edge version 7.77, which is scheduled for later this year:

  • Contact your account manager to request WebPurchasing.
  • Verify all users have Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 or 3 (PC and Macintosh) installed.
  • Verify your server uses Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 Server.
  • Consolidate all requisition line items into purchase orders.

For more information or to request WebPurchasing, please contact your account manager at solutions@blackbaud.com or call 800.443.9441.

To be notified when The Financial Edge version 7.77 is released, subscribe to the Financial Management Software Update Notification.
