# Submit a supply request

> Pick items from a storage location and send a supply request for approval

Requesters and members can submit a supply request to take items from your organization's stock.

## Steps

**1. Go to Supply Requests**

In the left sidebar, click **Supply Requests**, then click **New Request**.

**2. Choose a storage location**

If asked, select the storage location you want to request from. The catalog shows items and stock for that location. If your organization uses a single location, it's chosen for you.

**3. Add items to the basket**

Search or browse the catalog, or switch the search to **Barcode** to scan. Click an item, enter the quantity, and click **Done**. The item appears in the **Request Basket**.

For an item with variants, such as uniform sizes, clicking it opens a list of its variants with the stock of each. Pick one to add it. Each variant is its own line in the basket, such as "Polo shirt — M". Scanning a variant's barcode adds that variant directly.

**4. Review the basket**

Click an item in the basket to change its quantity, or click **Clear** to start over. To change a variant, remove the line and add the other variant. On a phone, tap **Continue** to see the basket.

**5. Continue**

Click **Continue**.

**6. Add a title and notes**

Enter a **Request Title**, such as "Science Lab Supplies", and any **Notes**. Fill in any custom fields your organization added. Required fields only need to be filled in when you submit.

**7. Submit**

Click **Submit Request** to send it for approval, or **Save as Draft** to finish later.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If your organization uses **Restricted** stock validation, you can only request up to the quantity available at the selected location. For items with variants, the limit is per variant, and a variant with no stock can't be picked. See [Supply request settings](https://docs.relyant.app/stock/settings.md#supply-requests).

## Track your request

Open **Supply Requests** and click the **Created by Me** tab. Click a request to see its status, the **Requested**, **Approved**, and **Dispensed** quantities for each item, and its **Activity History**. You receive an email when the request is ready for collection.

## Edit or cancel a request

* A **Draft** request can be submitted with **Submit**, cancelled with **Cancel Request**, or removed with **Delete**.
* A **Submitted** request can still be cancelled with **Cancel Request** while it waits for approval.
