Request a purchase and get it approved

Purchase requests, approvals and purchase orders in Spend control.

How toReviewed September 27, 2026

  1. In Spend control, press “New purchase request”.
  2. Say what it is for, from which vendor, and how much.
  3. It goes to the approver for its amount — the site, region and organization limits set under Approvals. They press “Approve”.
  4. When the supplier's invoice arrives, “Add invoice” and link it to the purchase. A difference from the approved amount needs its own approval.

Administrators set approvers and limits with “Set up approvals”. Until they do, every purchase needs one organization-level approval.
