Usage

The Purchase Requisition Portal is designed to support a simple and consistent purchasing workflow from request submission to approval.

For requesters​

Requesters use the Power Pages portal to:

  • Create a new purchase requisition
  • Add required details such as requested items, quantities, and justification
  • Attach supporting documents and related files
  • Submit the requisition for approval

The portal provides a guided experience so requests are captured in a consistent format.

For approvers​

Approvers review and act on requisitions through the Business Central approval workflow. Typical actions include:

  • Review the requisition details
  • Check attachments and supporting information
  • Approve or reject the request
  • Add comments or return the request for clarification if needed

The workflow status helps users understand where a request is in the approval process.

For administrators​

Administrators can use the solution to:

  • Maintain the setup and configuration for the requisition process
  • Manage document handling and supporting integrations
  • Support user access and governance requirements
  • Monitor workflow activity and maintain auditability

Typical business flow​

A typical requisition follows this path:

  1. A requester submits a requisition through the portal
  2. The request is routed through the approval workflow
  3. Approvers review and act on the request
  4. The request is tracked and managed in Business Central
  5. Supporting documents remain connected to the requisition record
  6. Purchase Orders are created based on requisitions. Either automatically as a 1:1 or combined via a worksheet.

Notes​

The exact steps and approvals may vary depending on your organisation’s workflow design, approval rules, and configured integrations.
