Purchase Requests
Capture structured internal requests for products, services or operational needs.
Structure purchase requests, approvals, supplier quotations, purchase orders, receiving and procurement visibility through one connected business workflow.
OVERVIEW
Procurement often involves multiple people, approvals, suppliers, quotations, documents and follow-ups before a purchase is completed.
When these activities are managed through email, spreadsheets, messages and paper, it becomes difficult to understand what has been requested, approved, ordered or received.
Incodiv Tech develops procurement management systems that organize the complete purchasing journey around structured records and business-defined workflows.
The solution can operate as an independent procurement application or become part of a wider ERP, inventory or business management platform.
PROCUREMENT CAPABILITIES

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Purchase requirements are submitted through messages and emails without a central record.
Teams manually follow up with approvers to understand whether requests can proceed.
Procurement status is maintained manually across multiple spreadsheets.
Supplier details and quotations are stored separately from procurement transactions.
Management cannot easily see pending, approved, ordered or received requirements.
Goods are purchased and received without a clear connection to inventory records.
PROCUREMENT WORKFLOW
A department or user submits the purchasing requirement.
The request moves through configured approval stages.
Approved requirements are converted into structured purchasing activity.
Delivered products are recorded against the purchase order.
PURCHASE REQUESTS
Instead of requesting purchases through email or informal messages, employees can submit standardized purchase requests.
The request can capture relevant information such as department, items, quantities, requirement date, purpose, estimated amount and supporting documentation.

APPROVAL WORKFLOWS
Approval requirements can differ based on department, request type, value or other business-defined conditions.
A procurement system can structure those approval stages so users can see where a request currently stands and what action is required next.
SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT
Supplier information becomes more useful when it is connected with quotations, purchase orders and procurement history.
Supplier profiles can maintain business details, contacts, categories, status, supporting information and related procurement transactions.
RFQ & QUOTATIONS
Where supplier quotation comparison forms part of the purchasing process, the system can maintain quotation records against the relevant request.
Commercial and operational information can then be presented in a structured format to support the organization's review process.
PURCHASE ORDERS
Once the procurement requirement and supplier selection process are completed, the approved purchase can move into a purchase order.
Purchase orders can maintain supplier, item, quantity, pricing, delivery and related reference information.
GOODS RECEIVING
Receiving can be recorded against the relevant purchase order, creating a clearer connection between procurement and delivery.
Depending on the process, the system can support complete or partial receiving and pass accepted quantities into inventory.
INVENTORY CONNECTION
Where procurement and inventory are part of the same business platform, approved receiving can create the appropriate stock movement and reduce the need to enter the same information again.
