# Purchase Requests

[Open in the interactive reference](https://docs.api.lensing.ai/lensing/v1/groups/accountingPurchaseRequests)

A purchase request asks for internal approval to buy goods or services before you commit to a vendor. A purchase order can then be created from the approved request.

Each request goes through your tenant's approval policy. There is no endpoint to delete a purchase request. Rejecting a request stops it.
