Can different locations have different buying teams?

Yes. Procurement access is assigned by business unit. Owners and that unit’s Procurement team can work on its requisitions directly. Test access with your own users and request examples.

Do requests need a separate approval step?

No. Requisitions go directly to the business unit’s owner or Procurement for review, sourcing, and ordering.

Does this support sequential approval chains?

Requisitions are handled directly by owners and Procurement. Sequential approval chains, departmental budget ledgers, and timed escalation require a separate system.

Can we customize the email sent with an order?

Supported order emails have editable subject and message templates with required variables. Default buyer PO notes are managed by business unit and can be included in the message. Advanced template editing may need technical help.

Does LineNow offer the same customization as Odoo Studio?

LineNow provides the purchasing settings described here; Odoo Studio supports broader app customization. Bring the field, workflow, or report you need so we can identify available settings and any required development.
