2. Overview of Employee Request
The Employee Requests feature in the Procurement app allows you to submit and track various procurement-related requests efficiently. This module streamlines the submission process for PRs initiated exclusively by employees, facilitating smoother communication between employees and the procurement team.
It's important to note that these employee-raised requests are essentially Procurement Requests (PRs).
Managers and Finance team can raise their procurement requests separately when there is a need (link to be added).
