Purchase Requests
Raise and approve requests to buy, the entry point to every procurement.
Last updated 16 July 2026
A Purchase Request (PR) is where every procurement begins. You raise a PR to describe what your organisation needs to buy, then it moves through your approval workflow before any spend is committed. Any user can create one; procurement reviews and approves it.
How a PR is fulfilled depends on how you source it. If you already know the supplier or are buying from a catalog, the request converts straight into a Purchase Order. If you want competitive quotes, procurement picks it up as a Sourcing Request instead.
