Purchase Request & Approval

"Control every purchase before money leaves your business."

Uncontrolled purchasing is one of the biggest profit leaks in any retail or restaurant operation. VendorKeeper's purchase request system introduces a structured procurement workflow — staff raise purchase requests, managers review and approve, and all approved orders are logged against the correct supplier for full traceability.

What Makes This Feature Powerful

Structured Request Workflow

Staff submit purchase requests with product details, quantity, urgency, and supplier reference. No verbal orders. No rogue spending.

Manager Approval Controls

Every purchase request requires manager authorization before it becomes an order. Role-based approval ensures only authorized personnel can commit funds.

Supplier-Linked Orders

Approved purchase requests automatically link to your supplier records, making it easy to track what was ordered, from whom, and when it's expected.

Purchase History & Audit Trail

Every purchase request — approved, rejected, or pending — is logged with timestamps and the approver's identity. Full procurement audit trail forever.
