As an Asset Manager, you can create an SR or PR in SPO from the ITAM Workspace to fulfill IT and asset requests submitted through Employee Center.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_spend_asset.spo_shopper

## About this task

After an employee submits a request through the Employee Center or an automated stock rule is triggered, the Asset Manager can view the request in the Service Catalog application and start sourcing and procuring the requested
items from the appropriate ITAM Workspace.  
The ITAM workspace used depends on the type of items being requested, such as hardware, software, or enterprise assets.

* Asset Workspace
* Hardware Asset Workspace
* Software Asset Workspace
* Enterprise Asset Workspace
{#spo-itam-submit-requests__ul_l4m_pmk_rfc}

To ensure a seamless integration between ITAM and SPO, the following updates have been implemented:

* SPO's Purchase Requisition (PR), Sourcing Request (SR), and Purchase Order (PO) tables are mapped to their corresponding tables in ITAM to enable smooth data flow between the two products.
* When a PR, SR, or PO is created in SPO, the associated data and states are synchronized with the corresponding PO in ITAM.
* The ITAM Purchase Order (PO), generated during the creation of a sourcing request or purchase requisition, provides visibility to both the employee and the asset manager.
* ITAM Purchase Order Lines (POLs) are generated after a supplier has been awarded in the sourcing request flow.
* The ITAM PO includes references to SPO's SR, PR, and PO records.
* The ITAM POL includes references to SPO's purchase requisition line (PRL) or POL records.
