Key Features of the Purchase Request Module

1. Submit Purchase Requests via a Dedicated Form

This feature allows users to easily submit a purchase request (PR) using a dedicated form. The form typically includes fields for entering essential information such as required items, quantities, desired delivery dates, and other relevant details. This centralized method standardizes the request process and ensures all necessary information is collected from the start.

2. Validate and Approve Purchase Requests

The module enables managers or authorized team members to review, validate, and approve submitted purchase requests. Once approved, the requests can be converted into supplier orders, facilitating the transition to the next stage of the purchase process. This validation and approval system ensures all requests are thoroughly reviewed before proceeding.

3. Electronic Signature for Purchase Requests

The electronic signature feature allows authorized users to officially approve purchase requests by adding their digital signature to the document. This guarantees the authenticity of the approval and provides a clear audit trail for all transactions, enhancing the security and transparency of the purchase process.

4. Generate Signed PDF Files

Once the purchase request is approved and electronically signed, users can generate a PDF file of the request. This file can be shared with suppliers and team members, and stored for compliance and audit purposes. PDF generation also facilitates documentation and archiving of transactions.

5. Attach Purchase Requests to Supplier Orders

The module allows for approved purchase requests to be linked to corresponding supplier orders. This facilitates tracking of ordered items and ensures all purchase requests are properly documented and linked to orders. This feature ensures better traceability and effective tracking of orders.

6. Manage Partial Supplier Orders

For supplier orders consisting of multiple partial deliveries, the module allows efficient management by linking them to a global order. This facilitates the management, tracking, and receipt of ordered goods, ensuring each partial delivery is correctly recorded and tracked.
