Follow these simple steps to create a new purchase request:

1. Click on the New Purchase Request button in the top right corner of the screen. 

2. Select the relevant Department from the dropdown list. 

You might not have "Departments" because that property might have a different ailas in your account. To set up an alias for your departments, click here.

Only the departments to which an employee belongs will be visible in the dropdown list.

3. Fill out the required fields and necessary details for the purchase request (Including any custom fields)

4. Select the approver(s) for the purchase request (manual approval flow).

With automatic approval flow, the approver(s) will automatically be selected based on the Department, Budget, and Amount of the purchase request. 

At least one approver needs to be selected.
