Material requirements, required dates, suppliers and approvals
Request header and material lines
A purchase request records its business reference, requester, required date, priority, supplier where known, notes and approval status.
Attention: A required date in the past may distort supplier-performance and open-request reports.
Material lines identify the requested item, quantity, unit and required date. Requests are created manually today; low-stock visibility does not create them automatically.
Moving an approved need into receiving
Authorized users review, approve or reject requests. Decision, date, user and notes remain in the request history.
An approved request can be referenced during goods reception so requested and received materials can be compared without removing the original request history.
