Procurement
Purchase requests, purchase orders, vendor onboarding, budgets and matching.
Last updated on
Procurement takes a need ("we need 40 laptops") through request, approval, order, receipt and bill — with the budget checked at each step and the vendor's invoice matched against what was ordered and received before it's paid.
Flow
- Purchase request (PR) — anyone with the role raises one; it's checked against budget and routed for approval.
- Purchase order (PO) — created from an approved PR (or directly, if allowed) and sent to the vendor.
- Goods receipt — what actually arrived, recorded against the PO.
- Vendor bill — matched three ways (PO, receipt, bill) and queued for payment.
