🔔 Discontinuation of Purchase Requests as of December 31, 2025
Starting December 31, 2025, purchase requests in our system will no longer be available.
Please make sure to switch to purchase orders in time to ensure a seamless continuation of your procurement processes.
Why is the »Purchase Request« feature being discontinued?
At finway, we are standardizing the Purchase-to-Pay process and transitioning fully to purchase orders.
This change provides several benefits:
A clearer process structure – there will only be purchase orders, no more purchase requests.
Approval and authorization workflows will remain exactly as you know them from purchase requests.*
You’ll be able to link purchase orders directly with corresponding delivery notes and invoices.
The existing purchase request feature will no longer be developed and after December 31, 2025 you can no longer create a new purchase request.
* Workflows for Purchase Orders are currently under development.
What will change for you?
Until December 31, 2025: You can still create and edit purchase requests.
From January 1, 2026: The »Purchase Request« feature will be deactivated.
Existing data will remain visible in your history and can still be processed or completed - however, no new purchase requests can be created.
