Frequently asked questions

What is a purchase requisition workflow?

A purchase requisition workflow is a structured process for requesting and approving purchases before generating a purchase order. Nutrient Workflow automates every step — from submission and approval to documentation and reporting — so you can eliminate manual followups and reduce delays.

Can I customize approval routing based on amount, department, or vendor?

Yes. You can configure routing logic to automatically escalate requests based on thresholds, categories, departments, or vendor type — with full support for parallel, serial, and conditional paths.

How do employees submit supporting documents with their requests?

Users can upload vendor quotes, specifications, emails, or contracts directly into forms — from desktop or mobile. All files stay attached to the request for full visibility and auditability.

Can I track request status and approval history in real time?

Yes. Both requesters and approvers can see where a requisition stands — approved, pending, rejected, or escalated — with timestamps and full action logs.

How does Nutrient help enforce purchasing policies and thresholds?

You can embed validation rules directly into forms to catch missing fields, block off-policy vendors, or warn users before exceeding thresholds. All activity is logged and exportable for compliance audits.

Is Nutrient’s requisition workflow mobile-friendly?

Yes. Approvers can review requests and view documents from the mobile app. Requesters can also submit forms and upload receipts or vendor quotes on the go.
