How to create a pickup request
Collect one or many items into a single draft pickup request and fill in the details.
Step-by-step
- Adding an item to a pickup creates a draft request (e.g. PUR 570).
- Watch the status track: draft, requested, evaluation, checkout, scheduling, transit, completed.
- Fill in supplier, requester, preferred date, PO, program and pickup address, then Update.
- Keep adding items - they all collect into the same draft, not separate requests.
- Find the request anytime under Services, My Pickup Requests.

Here I'll create a pickup request. Adding an item starts a draft, and you keep adding items into that same draft, fill in the details, and watch the status track from draft all the way to completed.
The system creates a new pickup request, number 570, in draft status. You can see the statuses: draft, requested, under user evaluation, payment, user checkout, scheduling, scheduled, in transit, arrived, checked in, and completed. This is full transparency for you. If you forget which pickup request you created, you can always go back to Services and find your pickup request list. This pickup request isn't submitted yet. It's in draft mode, which means it's still waiting for you to add more items. We're notified immediately when you create it. It shows: your draft pickup request is created. Continue adding items, or click Submit Request for Pickup. We have an estimated ROI - in our case zero percent, because it's the very beginning. This number changes down the road as we move forward. We recommend you complete the profile, because our client-service team who pick this up will contact you and ask the necessary questions anyway. Here we have a supplier, a requester, a date for when you want us to pick this up, your original PO if you have one, a program if it's related to one, and the pickup address. You provide some information and click Update. You're not submitting yet; you're still updating the draft of your pickup request. You're welcome to add more items. Let me add this item too - disposition strategy missing again - let's also sell this one. For this one I want you to scrap it, so I select recycle. I don't need it sold, but I'm still adding it to the pickup request to be scrapped. As soon as you have a draft, the system adds all products to the same draft. It doesn't create a new pickup request per item; it adds them into the same one.
