📝 Purchase Indent
The Purchase Indent feature is designed to bridge the gap between inventory needs and procurement actions. It empowers teams to formally request materials in a structured and trackable manner.
-
Indent Creation: Users can raise material requests with detailed specifications including required quantity, expected date of requirement, purpose, and department/project name.
-
Approval Workflow: Multi-level approval flows ensure checks and balances are in place. Configurable roles allow different team members to review and approve indents based on thresholds or categories.
-
Material Master Integration: Once a material is selected in an indent, related metadata (UOM, approx. cost, vendor info) is automatically fetched from the Material Master, reducing manual entry and errors.
-
Status Tracking: Users can monitor the real-time lifecycle of each indent, from “Draft” → “Pending” → “Partially Approved” → “Approved.”
