Who this is for: Anyone ordering office, kitchen, cleaning or bathroom supplies, warehouse or safety items, or BOM/BOS material — plus the purchasing team who reviews them.

The whole flow: pick your items → the purchasing team is emailed → they approve or reject it → you're emailed the outcome.

What this replaces

Purchasing requests used to be emailed to Mark Selph, then moved to the Purchasing Request Form in Google Forms (originally the Office Supplies Request Form). Everything it did is here: the same offices, the same sections, the same items.

Two things are better. The quantity for each item is its own field rather than something you describe in a shared Other box at the bottom of each section, and every request lands in a queue with an approve/reject decision and a record of who decided what.

At a glance

1. Forms tab → New Purchasing Request.
2. Pick the Office the order is for.
3. Add a row per item. Start typing and pick it from the list.
4. Submit → the purchasing team is emailed and you get a confirmation.
5. A reviewer approves or rejects it, and you're emailed either way.

The Forms tab: the five request cards on top, the reviewer consoles below.

Step 1 — Submit a request

Click + New Purchasing Request. Any signed-in user can submit. Required (\*) fields:

• Your name. Your email is filled in from your login and can't be edited, so the confirmation always reaches the person who actually asked.
