Introduction
The Material Request module equips organizations with a seamless system for managing material requisitions in Odoo. Employees can raise requests for needed materials, and those are routed through defined approval hierarchies—such as department managers or procurement leads. Upon approval, requests can trigger either purchase orders or internal transfers, ensuring timely fulfillment while maintaining oversight and auditability.
Key Features
Create material requisition requests with multiple items per request.
Route requests through configurable approval workflows (e.g., manager, procurement officer).
Allow choice between sourcing via purchase order or internal transfer from warehouse stock.
Send notifications at each step to keep stakeholders informed.
Generate internal picking or purchase orders automatically after approval.
Provide clear reporting and filtering tools to monitor request status and history.
Benefits
Simplify and standardize the process for material requisition across departments.
Increase control and visibility over procurement and internal stock usage.
Enhance efficiency by automating purchase and internal transfer generation.
Support better inventory planning and enforce compliance through approval trails.
