Thee Request Application in Sahana Eden can be used for managing requests for Items, Assets and Human Resources.

== Requests ==
Requests can be made from any Site (Office, Warehouse, Hospital, Shelter, eg). Requests may include the following types of resources:
 * Items (Consumables, eg. Food, Medical Supplies). More information on Items can be found UserGuidelines/Supplies. 
 * Asset (''Coming soon'')
 * Human Resources (''Coming soon'')
User can only make requests for sites which they have permissions for.

=== Request Status ===
==== Commit ====
This represents the commitments which have been to meet this request. This is simply a promise or a pledge and does not represent any action to meet the request. 
==== Transit ====
This represents that resource have been sent (but have not yet arrived) to meet the request.
==== Fulfil ====
This represents that resource have arrived which meet the request. Once all of the resources in a request have been fulfilled, it can be considered to be closed.

== Commitments ==
This allows sites to commit to meet request and track existing commitments. 

Shipments of items to send can automatically be generated from commitments.
