HPS LightTouch™ integrates an optional purchase request (PR) system as part of it's purchasing function. The purpose
of the PR system is to enforce purchase approval if the product value is higher than a pre-defined threshold. Staff
may raise a PR directly, or may attempt to purchase a product using the built-in purchasing system, which
will direct them to raise a PR if the product value is above the threshold.
PRs must be submitted for approval by a staff member's manager. Purchases for which a PR has been raised will only be
progressed once approved. Rejected PRs may be accompanied by
comments allowing the staff member to rectify anything about the purchase and re-submit the PR for approval.
