What is purchase request and how to create a purchase request for the society?

A purchase request is a formal document or internal request within a society that initiates the process of acquiring goods or services from an external vendor. It provides detailed information about the items or services needed, including their quantity, specifications, delivery requirements, and the intended purpose for the purchase. This document serves to ensure that the procurement process is authorized and aligned with the society's budget and operational needs. Additionally, it helps track requests for accountability, ensuring that all purchases are appropriately approved before proceeding with vendor negotiations or orders. 

Please follow the below steps to create a purchase request:

1. Go to accounts and select the Purchases option under purchasing.

2. Click on Create, then select the purchase request option. 

3. Select the date, vendor, department, and address. 

4. Enter the item type (Asset, Expense, Inventory), item name, quantity, and rate, then click on create purchase request. You can add multiple items while creating purchase requests.

Once the Purchase request is created, you can view the request under the purchase request option.
