Requisitions and purchasing

Purchase Requisition Portal for SAP Business One

Any employee can submit what they need, purchasing obtains quotes and assigns the price, and a configurable approval workflow turns the requisition into a purchase order—without paying for a SAP Business One license for every user.

REQUISITIONQUOTATIONAPPROVALPURCHASE ORDER

The real problem

Every SAP Business One user has a cost. Not everyone should need one.

01

Not enough licenses

If every employee had to enter requisitions directly in SAP, the company would pay for a user license for every requester.

02

Uncontrolled requests

Requests for items and services arrive by email, WhatsApp, or word of mouth, without a formal record or approval.

03

Purchases without comparison

Without a centralized buyer, no one searches for the best price or standardizes the item code before purchasing.

How it works

From request to purchase order in one workflow.

Each role does its part, while the system maintains control at every step.

01

Requisition entry

Any authorized employee enters what they need: an existing item or a simple description, plus quantity, warehouse, cost center, and required date. They can request for themselves or a colleague in their area.

02

Quotation and pricing

The buyer obtains prices, assigns the cost, defines the item or service code, and selects the applicable tax code.

03

Approval workflow

The requisition moves through configured levels based on department, cost center, amount, currency, or any combination you define.

04

Full approval

Once every required level approves, the requisition is ready to become a purchase.

05

Purchase order in SAP

The system automatically generates the purchase order, fully integrated with SAP Business One.

Benefits

Complete control without overpaying.

A complete requisition and purchasing workflow that runs outside SAP and connects to it only when needed.

01

Savings on SAP licenses

Entry, quotation, and approval take place outside SAP Business One; only final process roles need a SAP user.

02

Configurable approvals

Rules by department, cost center, amount, currency, and as many approval levels as you need.

03

Complete traceability

Every requisition retains its history from initial entry to the generated purchase order.

04

Full SAP B1 integration

The purchase order is created directly in your ERP without duplicate manual entry.

No unnecessary licenses

A digital layer for everyone, connected to SAP only where it matters.

The requisition portal extends SAP Business One without requiring a license for every employee who submits a request. Only the roles that need it, such as the buyer, work inside the ERP.

Why not license everyone in SAP?

The cost of licensing every requester.

Multiplying user licenses so every employee can enter requisitions is expensive and does not solve approval control.

Frequently asked questions

Before scheduling a demo.

Does every employee who submits a request need a SAP Business One license?+

No. Entry, quotation, and approval run outside SAP; only final process roles, such as the buyer, require a SAP user.

Does the requester need to know the exact item name?+

No. They can choose an item already in the catalog or simply describe what they need; purchasing completes the item or service code and the tax code.

Can I define different approval levels by department?+

Yes. Approval rules are fully configurable by department, cost center, amount, currency, or any combination, with as many levels as you need.

What happens after the requisition is approved?+

It is automatically converted into a purchase order, fully integrated with SAP Business One.
