What Candis Purchase Requests is
Candis Purchase Requests is a web-based purchasing workflow for recording planned expenses and obtaining approval before spending occurs. Employees can submit a vendor, amount, service date, justification, attachments, and accounting details. The service can suggest cost centers, cost objects, and workflows from earlier requests, then route submissions to designated approvers under defined rules with reminders for pending decisions. After final approval, Candis creates a purchase order number, with an administrator-set prefix. Incoming invoices are checked against requests, and fulfillment updates the request status. Teams can view status and a documented approval history, including rejected requests and changes. Purchase requests are included in the Plus and Max packages, not Base. Listed integrations include DATEV, SAP Business One, Sage 100, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Candis states that documentation is GoBD-compliant and data is stored in Germany under GDPR requirements. Plans include onboarding and support, with dedicated support available as an add-on.
