Purchase request: approval, then the order is sent
A team member emails a purchase request. The AI extracts item, quantity, supplier, total and cost centre; the purchasing manager approves. Only then is the purchase order email written and sent to the supplier and the order logged in your Table. A refusal drafts the explanation to the requester.
