# Review and approve purchase requests

> Approve or reject purchase requests, convert them to purchase orders, and mark them completed

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Required role:** **Owner** or **Admin**, a custom role with permission to approve purchase requests, or being named as an approver by a [workflow](https://docs.relyant.app/stock/approvals.md#who-approves).

## Review a purchase request

**1. Find the request**

In the left sidebar, click **Approvals**. Or click **Purchase Requests**, then click **Submitted** in the status row.

**2. Open the request**

Click the request, or click **View** in Approvals.

**3. Review the details**

Check the line items, quantities, estimated costs, required-by date, and notes. Each line shows its variant, if it has one, and its **Account** and **Department**.

## Approve or reject

When the request is waiting for you, an **Approval Required** banner appears at the top.

* To approve, click **Approve**. The request moves to **Approved**.
* To reject, click **Reject**, enter a reason, and click **Reject** again. The requester is notified, and the reason appears on the request.

You can also approve or reject straight from the **Pending** tab in [Approvals](https://docs.relyant.app/stock/approvals.md).

## Convert to a purchase order

Once a request is **Approved** or **Partially Approved** and has approved items that aren't ordered yet, you can convert it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You need permission to create purchase orders.

**1. Click Convert to PO**

On the request, click **Convert to PO**.

**2. Fill in the order**

Choose the supplier and decide how each item is handled. See [Convert from request](https://docs.relyant.app/stock/procurement/purchase-orders/convert-from-request.md) for the full walkthrough.

**3. Create**

Click **Create PO**.

## Mark the request completed

After goods are received against the purchase order, a **Goods Received** banner appears on the request.

* Click **Mark as Completed** when every ordered item has been fully received.
* Click **Mark as Partially Completed** when only some have arrived.
