Purchase request approval

Before a purchase order can be sent to the supplier, the purchase request needs to be reviewed (and approved).

You will receive a notification when a new approval task is assigned to you. By clicking on the notification, you can open the task.

Another way to open review tasks is by clicking on 'Budget holder' from the User Home. All open review tasks will be displayed. Choose the review task you want to assess.

Now you will be taken to the detail page.


The most important information is displayed in the top bar. Below that, you can find the detailed information. Any attachments added by the requester can be found using the 📎 paperclip icon in the bottom left corner. Comments can be viewed by clicking on the 💬 chat icon in the bottom left corner. You also have the option to add new comments.


You can approve or reject the request by clicking on the corresponding buttons at the bottom right. When you choose to reject, you always have to submit a reason.

After your review (approval or rejection), this specific task will no longer be visible in your list of approval tasks. Curious about the progress of the request? You can find all previous tasks by clicking on 'Search' in the left menu bar.
