Creating RFQs, POs, or Work Orders without a structured approval process often leads to unauthorized purchases, budget mismatches, and lack of procurement visibility. Many construction teams still rely on informal approvals through calls, chats, or spreadsheets—causing confusion and delays.
IntoAEC’s Indent Management ensures every procurement request starts with proper approval. Raise Material or Work Indents, route them to authorized approvers, and convert them seamlessly into RFQs, POs, or Work Orders—all within a controlled workflow.
No unapproved purchases. No process gaps. Just clear, accountable procurement from request to execution.
Ensure every purchase or work request goes through proper approval before execution.
Add items effortlessly whether manually, from the item library, or from products and services. Maintain consistency across procurement while reducing repetitive data entry and enabling faster Indent creation compared to traditional systems.
Track every Indent through its lifecycle Pending, Approved, Rejected, Cancelled, or Converted with complete action history and downloadable records for documentation.
Indent works seamlessly alongside RFQ, PO, and Work Order features ensuring a structured flow from request to vendor communication to final execution within one unified procurement system.
Construction projects involve frequent material requests, subcontractor work approvals, and urgent procurement needs. Indent Management in IntoAEC supports real site operations such as:
Site engineers can create Material Indents with required quantities and expected delivery dates before procurement begins.
Create Work Indents to seek approval before assigning subcontractors or issuing Work Orders.
Assign specific approvers and maintain a record of decisions—ensuring no unauthorized commitments are made.
An Indent is a structured procurement request created before generating an RFQ, PO, or Work Order. It ensures proper approval is obtained before any material purchase or work assignment is initiated.
You can create two types of Indents: Material Indent for requesting materials and Work Indent for requesting work execution.
Only users with assigned approver permissions can review and approve an Indent request.
