In this case, for odoo 18 and community version, i was wondering how to create a Purchase Request (PR) without having to generate a Purchase Order (PO) and without affecting the Inventory module?
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Accounting
- Inventory
- PoS
- Project
- MRP

Yes, you can configure Purchase Requests in Odoo independent of PO and Inventory, with the following approach:
Option 1: Use the “Purchase Request” Module (Add-on)
Install purchase_request (community modules or from Odoo App Store).
- Allows users to submit internal requests.
- Can be approved/rejected by managers.
- Does not require PO or inventory actions unless configured.
- Can be extended for budgeting, finance, or service workflows.
Option 2: Custom Workflow with Approvals
Use Odoo Studio or custom module to:
- Add a Purchase Request model (purchase.request) with fields like item, amount, justification, etc.
- Add approval stages and responsible users.
- Use Automated Actions to notify or escalate without PO creation.
yes, Purchase Request in this case is Request for Quotation that not become a Purchase Order

Can you elaborate what exactly a "Purchase Request" is meant to be in this situation? Is it actually different to a Purchase Order that is not yet confirmed, i.e. an RFQ - Request for Quotation - that may, or may not become a Purchase Order later on?
