Purchase requests

Create a purchase request, submit it, multi-level approval, and printing.

Menu Procurement → Purchase Requests. Every employee can create requests for themselves.

Step 1 — Create the request

Add 1–100 lines: a stock item, or free text with a unit, plus quantity and estimated price. The total is calculated automatically. Save as a draft.

Step 2 — Submit

On submission the number of approval levels is set from the total (approval rules). When rules exist but none applies, the request is approved at once.

Step 3 — Approval

  • Levels are decided in order by that level's approver role. The Waiting for my approval list and the notification bell show what you can decide now.
  • The requester cannot decide their own request, and one person can approve only one level.
  • A rejection needs a reason and ends the request.
