From a site request to a purchase order

The handover point between the field asking and the office buying.

In this lesson

Where the field meets the office

On site, Tarek runs out of a material. The request he raises here is the handover point — where the field asks, and the office buys. Everything after this depends on it being written down.

A request ties back to the bill of materials, not to a free-typed line. That is what keeps the quantity and the rate honest, and what lets Mostafa value it later.

Tarek raises it against the villas’ finishes — the material, the quantity, and where on site it is needed. A request with a date and a location gets bought; a phone call gets forgotten.

The request lands on Hoda’s list in procurement. This is where the field’s need becomes the office’s responsibility — the handover only works because both sides are looking at the same record.

Hoda approves it. The status changes for the whole studio to see, and what was a request is now ready to become a purchase order.

The habit that matters

One habit worth building: no material moves without a written request first. The cost of skipping it is not the missing tile — it is the order nobody can trace back to who asked, or why.
