STEP BY STEP

The purchase process in Candis

  • Purchase requisitions are created in just a few clicks. Cost center, cost object, and the appropriate approval workflow are suggested automatically – based on previous requests.

    • Capture the details: Enter vendor, amount, service date, and justification, attach any documents, and you’re done.

    • Automatic routing: Requests go straight to the right approvers, with reminders to keep things moving.

    • Approved with confidence: Orders only go through after approval – and every step is fully documented.

  • It’s often unclear where a purchase approval is stuck. In Candis, the status of every purchase requisition is visible at any time – who needs to approve next and where a request currently stands.

    • Full visibility: The status of every request is visible from submission through to final approval.

    • Fewer back-and-forths: All information lives in the system – follow-up questions become the exception, not the rule.

    • Clear overview: Open, approved, or rejected – every order stays traceable.

    • Flexible corrections: Rejected or approved requisitions can be edited and resubmitted.

  • A purchase order number creates clarity on both sides – internally and with vendors. Candis generates one automatically upon final approval.

    • Clean matching: Use the PO number for invoice reconciliation, vendor communication, and internal tracking.

    • Fully configurable: Admins set the prefix in the system settings.

    • Instant notification: Requesters receive an automatic notification including their PO number.

  • As soon as an invoice arrives, Candis checks automatically whether a matching purchase requisition exists. Cost center and cost object are pulled from the requisition. Status updates automatically.

    • Automatic matching: Invoices and orders are systematically checked and linked.

    • Less manual work: Discrepancies are flagged immediately – manual review only happens when it needs to.

    • Instant status update: Candis marks the requisition as fulfilled or partially fulfilled, depending on how much of the requested amount has been covered.

    • Complete audit trail: The entire order process is documented in the system and accessible at any time.

Fully documented

Every approval in the order process is traceable and audit-proof.

Clearly organized

A better purchase process for everyone

  • Leaders want to identify spending early and assign accountability clearly. Candis brings all purchase requisitions into one central process – and delivers both.

    • Early visibility: Planned expenses are visible with cost center and cost object before they’re incurred.

    • Informed decisions: Expenses captured early allow for proactive budget decisions before commitments are made.

    • Clear accountability: Leaders can immediately see which teams are committing which resources — and set priorities accordingly.

  • Finance teams need to make quick decisions – and they need complete information with every request. Candis makes spending centrally visible and reduces the approval process to what matters.

    • Faster decisions: Digital approvals speed up procurement and keep projects on track.

    • Complete information: All details – vendor, amount, cost center, justification – are available at the point of request.

    • Consistent rules: Every request follows defined criteria, and accountability stays clear throughout.

  • Employees need purchase requisitions to be simple to submit and fast to approve. Candis keeps administrative overhead to a minimum – and makes it easy to track where an approval stands.

    • Live status tracking: The progress of any purchase requisition is visible and traceable in the system at any time.

    • Fast turnaround: Once approved, requesters receive an automatic notification including their PO number.
