QAD Purchasing Request Approval
Purchasing is typically one of your highest cash flow expenses and should therefore be kept under control. However, decisions about what needs to be purchased, for how much and when, often need to be made before approval has been given. QAD uses purchasing requests to help overcome this with most being automatically generated by the planning tools according to pre-set rules. Requests can also be manually defined with their own custom rules.
With QAD Purchasing Request Approval, you get:
- Control over your purchasing costs and the company’s cash flow
- Reduced approval process time by making it digital
- Generates time savings for approvers and purchasers by removing any delay in order approvals
Features
- When defining the approval rules, you can combine levels by item group (for example spare parts, direct materials, IT equipment), target centre, as well as project, if applicable
- QAD supports replacements of discontinued products with new ones
- QAD uses pre-set rules to select the required approvers and prepare the queue for approval
- The approver uses their computer or mobile phone to authorise the purchase or to return it to the previous step with additional comments or instructions
- Only requests that are approved are transformed into orders by purchasers
