OmniApproval™ Purchase — From Requests to Orders, Under Control
Extend OmniApproval™ into purchasing so every quotation or purchase order can be authorized and traceable.
What it does
- Purchase-specific approval type: adds type = 'purchase_order' on Approval Request Type (Quotation / Purchase Order), auto-seeded per company.
- Purchase fields on approvals: adds purchase_order_id and purchase_line_id to approval requests and lines.
- Safe domain & company checks: purchase_line_id filtered by selected purchase_order_id; both fields are check_company=True.
- Type-level toggles with labels: enable/optional/required for header & line (Purchase Order / Purchase Line), with translatable labels.
- View & wizard integration: injects the fields and toggles into approval form, line form, and the create-by-wizard flow for a consistent UX.
- Security alignment: Purchase Manager group implies Approval Officer (so procurement leaders can approve without extra setup).
Business benefits
- Stop unapproved purchasing before commitments are made.
- Enforce procurement policy with explicit links to the PO and its lines.
- Strengthen auditability: every decision is tied to a specific quotation/order and line.
Executive value
For CEOs/CFOs and Procurement Heads, this adapter creates a single place to see who requested, who approved, and for which PO/line — improving purchasing discipline and removing ambiguity in vendor decisions.
Ecosystem
Works standalone with OmniApproval™. Pairs naturally with:
- OmniApproval™ - Accounting Approval (journal/tax visibility).
- OmniApproval™ - Analytic Approval (expense allocation & KPI), if needed.
No spreadsheets. No guesswork. Just clear, policy-backed purchasing approvals.
