Purchase requests

Capture spending tied to a project and route it for approval.

Purchase requests let your team capture what a project needs to spend and route it to the right person for sign-off — so budgets stay visible and nothing gets bought without a yes.

Create a purchase request

Open the project and go to its purchase requests.
Create a request — what you need, the amount, and why.
Submit it for approval.

A purchase request form with amount and justification.

The approval flow

Once submitted, a request goes to whoever approves spending for the project. They can approve or reject it, and the requester is notified of the decision. Approvals can be driven by an automation so the right approver is pulled in automatically.

Track a request

Every request shows its current state — submitted, approved, or rejected — so you always know where spending stands across the project.

Purchase requests are part of project management for church organizations. If you don't see them, your plan may not include projects.
