Purchase Order Automation — Requisition to PO Without Manual Entry
Automatically convert requisitions into approved, posted POs with vendor matching, approval routing, and full audit trails.
The Daily Reality
Manual PO Creation
Procurement staff manually type requisitions into PO forms
Approval Delays
POs sit in approval queues for days waiting for sign-off
Data Entry Errors
Wrong quantities, prices, vendor details create disputes
Procurement Bottleneck
15-30 minutes per PO blocks team capacity
Zero Visibility
No way to track where requisitions are stuck
Incoming Requisitions
PO Creation
PO Status
Why This Breaks at Scale
Requisition Volume Overwhelms Teams
Each new PO multiplies manual data entry workload
Approval Bottlenecks Compound
Delays cascade through procurement queue under pressure
Audit Gaps Create Risk
No trace of PO changes exposes compliance issues
Procurement teams processing 500+ POs/month see error rates spike without automation.
