In standard Dynamics 365 Business Central, creating a purchase document requires a vendor and an item, fixed asset, or resource. Without those details, you can’t even submit a request. But in real life, when employees need to request goods or services, they often don’t know the vendor or what account category it belongs to. They just know they need it to do their job.

The Purchase Request app solves this problem by allowing staff to submit purchase requests directly in Business Central without having to fill in vendor or item details. Instead of tracking requests in emails, spreadsheets, or outside systems, everything stays within Business Central, keeping the process organized and visible.

Even better, this setup reflects how purchasing actually works. The person requesting the goods or services isn’t the one who will shop around for the best vendor or negotiate pricing, that’s what your purchasing team is for. With this app, the requester focuses on what’s needed, and the purchaser can take it from there, getting RFQs and sourcing the right vendor.

And because the app integrates seamlessly with Business Central’s approval workflows, managers can review and approve requests quickly without adding extra steps or complicated setup.

Key Benefits:

• Request purchases easily without needing vendor, item, fixed asset, or resource details.
• Keep requests inside Business Central instead of tracking them in emails or spreadsheets.
• Separate responsibilities between requesters and purchasers to streamline the process.
• Use existing approval workflows for simple, secure authorization.
• Speed up procurement and cut down on confusion caused by incomplete or placeholder data.

With the Purchase Request app, you eliminate messy workarounds and give your team a straightforward way to request what they need while letting your purchasing department do what they do best.
