Simplify Procurement with NOVAREQ for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Purchase requisitions from request to approved PO in two screens — without leaving Business Central or chasing email approvals.
The Email-Approval Tax
A typical mid-market UAE business processes 200–800 purchase requisitions a month. Without a structured flow, every requisition becomes an email thread — five forwards, two attachments, one approval line buried in a reply. The procurement team spends half its day reconciling email approvals against POs, and the auditor cannot reconstruct the trail at year-end.

BEFORE NOVAREQ
Email request to manager → manager forwards to head of department → reply chain → procurement enters PO manually. Average cycle: 3–5 days. Audit trail: a folder of PDFs. |
WITH NOVAREQ
Requester files inside Business Central; the system routes by amount and department; approvers act in Teams or Outlook; PO posts automatically. Cycle: hours. |
A requisition is a control, not a chat
The reason auditors care about purchase requisitions is that they are the first control in the procure-to-pay cycle. If the control is "email plus goodwill," every other control downstream — three-way match, vendor payment, expense recognition — is weaker than it looks.
NOVAREQ moves the control into the system. Every requisition has a trail, every approval is timestamped, and every PO traces back to a named requester.
What NOVAREQ Does, Concretely
Six capabilities, each tested across UAE and KSA mid-market BC tenants. NOVAREQ installs as an AppSource extension from the Microsoft AppSource marketplace in under 10 minutes.
- Line-item approval. Approvers can approve, reject, or partial-approve individual lines of a requisition — not just the whole document.
- Multi-level workflows. Configure by amount, department, project, or expense category — five levels deep if the policy requires it.
- Mobile approver views. Approve from Teams or Outlook on a phone — the requisition arrives as an actionable card, not a forwarded PDF.
- Budget validation. System checks remaining budget at requisition time — stops over-commit before the PO is raised.
- Vendor catalogue integration. Requesters pick from a curated vendor + item list, not a free-text field — clean master data downstream.
- Audit trail. Every approval is timestamped, attributed, and visible in BC's standard role centre — no separate audit module.
