Purchase order Request By Employees
The Purchase Order Request by Employees module streamlines the purchase request process for organizations by allowing employees to initiate purchase requests through dynamic stages. Each stage of the purchase request can be customized, and designated access groups are assigned to approve each stage, ensuring a structured and secure workflow.
Features
Dynamic Stage Management
The module provides a highly customizable approach to managing purchase request stages. Organizations can create and configure stages based on their needs, specifying which access group has approval rights at each stage.
Multiple RFQ/PO Creation
This feature enables users to generate multiple RFQs (Request for Quotations) or POs (Purchase Orders) from a single purchase request. The user-friendly interface allows users to create these documents quickly and efficiently, saving time and reducing the risk of errors during the procurement process.
Alerts and Stage Transitions
The module provides built-in alerts that notify users when a stage transition or action is not permitted, such as when a request manager tries to mark a request as "Done" without the necessary permissions.
