When making a purchase, we instinctively ask ourselves: Do I really need this? Can I afford it? Every transaction must meet specific criteria before proceeding. In a company, the purchasing process follows the same logic—but with a layer of complexity that personal purchases don’t have.
Corporate procurement involves multiple steps, approvals, and compliance measures. Unfortunately, without the right systems in place, these processes can become time-consuming, error-prone, and costly. So, how can businesses streamline their Purchase Requisition process?
At Dynatos, we have the solution. And the best part? You might already have the tools to make it work!
Why Purchase Requisition matters
A well-structured purchase requisition process ensures that every order is reviewed and approved by the right people before a purchase is made. Employees submit requests for products or services, which are then evaluated before being turned into actual purchase orders. Sounds simple, right?
In reality, many organizations struggle with this process. Some companies skip approval steps, leading to unauthorized purchases. Others still rely on manual requisition handling, which slows down operations and increases the risk of errors. With different vendors, product variations, and multiple departments involved, coordinating requests efficiently can be a challenge.
Without automation, businesses face:
- Delayed approvals and inefficiencies
- Limited visibility into spending
- Increased risk of duplicate or unauthorized purchases
- Slower procurement cycles impacting business performance
The solution: automating Purchase Requisition
Automating your purchase requisition process unlocks efficiency, visibility, and control across your organization. With Process Director—a solution from Tungsten Automation—your workflows become streamlined, reducing time-consuming manual tasks and minimizing errors.
Key benefits of automation
- Clarity – Employees follow a structured requisition process aligned with purchasing guidelines. This increases visibility and reduces errors across departments.
- Integration – Seamlessly connect electronic catalogs, automatically validate data, and ensure alignment with SAP entries, transactions, and configurations.
- Control – Gain full traceability over purchase requests, helping to prevent fraud, avoid duplicate orders, and simplify financial audits. With an automated audit trail, compliance with current and future regulations becomes effortless.
Leveraging SAP for a smarter process
The good news? These benefits can be implemented quickly and efficiently—especially if your business already uses SAP.
SAP acts as a centralized hub for purchase requisition management, providing a real-time overview of requests, approvals, and workflows. A Dynatos Senior Consultant explains:
Think of SAP as your procurement cockpit—giving you full control over requisitions, approvals, and authorizations. You always know who is making requests, what’s being ordered, and where approvals are in the process.”
SAP’s user-friendly interface allows you to:
📂 Upload attachments for supporting documentation
📑 Copy & adjust previous requests for faster approvals
🔍 Ensure accuracy by supplementing or deriving the right data automatically.
