The purchasing process is an important part of business operations because it ensures that necessary goods are obtained quickly and efficiently. For this process to be successful, each purchase must be approved by an authorized company employee. Procurement can become disorganized without a structured approval process, which can lead to inefficiencies and losses.

TILabs knows that a well-managed purchasing approval process is critical to operational efficiency. As Odoo implementation specialists and creators of SudoERP and SudoHR, we help businesses speed up their purchasing workflows by ensuring that approvals are processed quickly and in accordance with company regulations.

In addition to ensuring that purchases are necessary and within budget, the approval process informs management of the company’s needs for facilities and operations. Odoo’s purchase approval feature allows businesses to create approval workflows that ensure all purchase orders are reviewed by authorized parties before they are completed. This simplifies the process. Companies, however, often face difficulties in managing this process well. Here are some common problems that TILabs can solve and how they can be used to solve them:

1. Misconfiguration

When setting up, the approval process is done too ambiguously and incorrectly so that this process becomes ineffective. Sometimes the regulations in a company have a flow that is too strict so that the procurement process becomes slow. In addition, company regulations that have too loose a flow can lead to purchases that are not well controlled.

The solution to this problem is when configuring to ensure that approvals are in accordance with company policy. Clear and precise arrangements can fulfill requests according to company needs.

2. Agreements are Too Complex

When approvals involve different departments in each company, approvals will become increasingly complicated and difficult to manage.

The solution to this problem is that Odoo provides a Multi-Level Approval feature that is adjusted based on needs. This Multi-Level Agreement is an agreement that involves various parties. For this reason, create an efficient workflow so that its use does not hinder the purchasing process.

We believe that the purchase approval process is critical to a company’s operational success. Using the capabilities of Odoo and our custom ERP systems, SudoERP and SudoHR, we help businesses create approval processes that are efficient and compliant with company policies. Tilabs can help you with your purchasing process from start to finish.
