Magento 2 Requisition Lists delivers enhanced native Magento 2 B2B functionality into your Magento 2 CE stores. This functionality is disclosed in enabling customers to collect products into requisition lists, alike wish-lists, to create orders at a later date. Customers can create requisition lists of items they order frequently and use them to periodically re-order the items. Unlike wish-lists requisition lists can be created in plenty and can be stored for as long as customers wish, even after being used to place orders. It is a particular feature of the present extension that two modules by Aheadworks, Company Accounts and Easy Reorder, can be summoned to further enhance the functionality of Requisition Lists and showcase a comparative advantage against the native Magento 2 B2B functionality.

Introducing Magento 2 Requisition Lists

Requisition Lists for Magento 2 is an extension to support customer procurement operations on your Magento 2 stores. It enables customers to collect frequently bought products into multiple requisition lists and use them at a later date to place orders. Each item on a requisition list is associated with a catalog entry and has the following attributes: Product Name, Image, SKU, Size, Color (other configurable parameters of a product), Current Product Price. The extensions makes it possible to edit both the requisition lists and the products on the lists. Editing products presumes updating product configuration and quantity, as well as removing products from the list, individually or in bulk. Furthermore, customers are able to move or copy products from list to list. Selected products can be added to Cart in one click. The module can be integrated with Company Accounts and Easy Reorder, the modules that together provide for full-fledged corporate experience in eCommerce procurement. The key-features of the present extension can be shortlisted as follows:  

• Multiple requisition lists
• Adding products to lists from various places
• Explicit management options on the storefront
• Updating products individually and in bulk
• Converting list to Cart
• Integration with Company Accounts, Easy Reorder
