How to approve or reject an Indent request?

Indents raised by employees must be approved by their managers. 

• What happens if an indent request is approved?

The items requested by the employee will be issued.

• What happens if an indent request is rejected?

The employee can make the necessary corrections, and then resubmit the indent request for approval.

• What if the item requested is not available or not in sufficient quantity?

The indent request can still be approved. After approval, create and issue a purchase order for the pending quantity. After the items are supplied, create a goods receipt note. The pending quantity is automatically issued to the employee.

• Can an approved indent request be rejected or vice versa?

Once issued, an indent request cannot be rejected. However, a rejected indent request can be approved again.
