Purchasing workflow

From “I need” to “delivered”.

Retire the Word-and-email requisition form. Requests flow through purchasing review, value-based approval and ordering – with a clear status at every step and nobody chasing paper.

Requisitions by e-mail and Word

The problem.

Forms get lost, prices change after approval, nobody knows who has the request right now, and accounting later asks for the PO and quote that sit in somebody's inbox.

Our answer

The solution.

One digital request that carries quotes, prices, approvals and the PO. The system decides who needs to look at it next – and asks again if the final price drifts too far.

Capabilities

What it does.

Five clear roles

Requester, Purchasing, Manager, Accounting and Superadmin; a person can hold several roles.

Request with attachments

Items, justification, quotes and photos in one place.

Purchasing review

Purchasing sets the real price and supplier before anyone approves.

Smart approvals

Managers only see requests above a configurable value, checked against the final price.

Re-approval guard

If the ordered price exceeds the approved value by more than a set percentage, approval restarts automatically.

Questions in-flow

Additional information required keeps the dialogue inside the request.

Ordered & delivered

PO data and delivery status tracked to the end; accounting gets read access.

Multi-tenant

Serve several companies or sites with separate settings from one installation.

Deep dive 1

Approval at the right moment

Manager approval happens after purchasing has set the final price – not on a guess. Small requests flow straight through; larger ones wait for approval. Thresholds are settings, not code.

  • Per-company value threshold
  • Approval on final value
  • Reject with reason

Deep dive 2

A complete trail for accounting

Every request keeps its quotes, final prices, PO number and delivery. Accounting can read ordered and delivered requests with all data and documents – no more searching inboxes at month end.

  • PO data on the request
  • Documents attached
  • Status history

Built-in safeguards

Rules the app enforces.

Approval on final price

No approving numbers that are not real yet.

Automatic re-approval

Price drift above the limit sends it back.

Role separation

Requesters, buyers and approvers see what they need.

Tenant isolation

Companies never see each other's data.

FAQ

Good to know.

Can approval limits differ by company?

Yes, thresholds are per-customer settings.

Does it replace the ERP?

No – it covers the request-to-order workflow and hands clean data to purchasing and accounting.

Can we start without a server?

Yes, a local mode is available for evaluation; production uses the cloud database.
