Intelligent Purchase Requisitions: Amplifying Business Central with 4flow

07 May 2025
Is your business still managing purchase requisitions through email chains, Excel templates, or limited workflow rules inside your ERP? As businesses accelerate toward digital maturity, seamless procurement processes aren’t just nice to have-they’re essential for agility, control, and growth.

That’s where 4flow changes the game. By integrating deeply with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, 4flow turns static, rule-based approvals into intelligent, end-to-end purchase requisition workflows-designed for today’s mobile-first, compliance-heavy, and data-driven world.

What is 4flow? 

4flow is a low-code business process automation platform designed to help organisations digitise, streamline, and optimise their internal workflows. From procurement and finance to HR and operations, 4flow empowers business users to design intelligent processes without writing a single line of code. 

When paired with Business Central, 4flow becomes a powerful layer of process orchestration that enhances, extends, and modernises the native capabilities of Microsoft's ERP system. 

Elevating Purchase Requisitions with 4flow 

When 4flow is deployed alongside Business Central, businesses gain access to a robust process engine tailored for modern procurement needs. 

Here’s how 4flow changes the experience: 

  • Intelligent Routing & Budget Validation- Automatically route requisitions based on thresholds, cost centers, departments, and user-defined business rules. Validate budgets in real time before initiating an approval process. 
  • Mobile-First Experience- Users can submit and approve purchase requisitions from anywhere, even offline. Built-in features like barcode scanning, GPS location tagging, and manual signing enhance field usability. 
  • Dynamic Approval Chains- No more hardcoded approvers. 4flow allows for multi-tiered, role-based approvals, delegation during absence, and automatic escalation if timelines are breached. 
  • Custom Forms and Document Attachments- Design forms that reflect your unique procurement process. Add supporting documents, images, or reports-all tracked and auditable. 
  • Real-Time Analytics and SLA Monitoring- Gain full visibility into every requisition’s journey-identify bottlenecks, measure SLA performance, and make data-driven improvements. 
  • Seamless Integration with Business Central- Approved requisitions automatically flow into Business Central for PO generation, ensuring compliance and eliminating double capture. 

Real-World Results 

Companies leveraging 4flow with Business Central report: 

  • 60% reduction in requisition turnaround times 
  • Full mobile enablement for procurement teams

In a procurement landscape where speed, accuracy, and accountability are non-negotiable, 4flow equips businesses with the tools to lead rather than follow. 

The Future of Procurement is Integrated, Intelligent, and Agile 

As organisations push toward more adaptive digital ecosystems, rigid and siloed approval workflows become a barrier to growth. By combining the financial and operational power of Microsoft Business Central with the intelligent automation capabilities of 4flow, procurement teams gain the efficiency, visibility, and control needed to thrive in the modern enterprise.
