Internal purchasing runs on email and memory. Someone needs a part, fires off a message, and the request bounces between inboxes until a manager finally approves it or forgets. There is no record of who asked, what it was for, or whether the budget had room.

The cost is delay and overspend. A request sits for a week because the approver never saw it, or two departments order the same thing because neither could see the other. In 2026, with budgets watched closely, purchasing without a paper trail is purchasing without control.

Purchase Requisitions puts the intake side on rails. Guided entry, conditional routing, plus a budget check before the request reaches an approver. Every request is logged from the moment someone hits submit.

Each request starts with guided entry, so the requester gives the reason, the quote, plus the justification up front. Rule-based workflows route it by amount, department, or category, and budget-aware thresholds decide whether one signature is enough or the request needs another.

Status is visible the whole way. The requester sees where their ask stands, the approver gets a notification instead of a buried email, and finance watches the request-to-PO lifecycle in one report. Attachments for quotes and specs ride along with the request.

Most deployments run in weeks, not months. Your approval rules come over clean, and the app ties into the PO and procurement tools you already run. The team stops running purchases out of an inbox.
