Conversational Purchase Requisition
Submitted by Mubarak Albahri
Pain point
Raising a purchase requisition today requires logging into the ERP system and manually creating the request — a separate, manual step that slows procurement down. There's no way to initiate a requisition through a conversational or automated channel without going into the ERP itself.
Proposed solution
Claude sends a request through a Power Automate connector (e.g. an HTTP or custom connector action triggered from a Claude-driven workflow). The flow triggers and picks up the request details, then maps the action to Business Central using the Dynamics 365 Business Central connector's built-in "Create record" action. A purchase requisition record is created in Business Central with the details Claude gathered (item, quantity, requestor, cost center, etc.), flowing into the ERP ready for approval workflows and downstream processing (PO creation, budget checks, vendor selection).
