Core Procurement Workflows
Purchase Requisitions
A requisition records the requesting department, item or service, quantity, date, reason, specification, estimated cost and supporting documents.
Approval can be routed by department, value, category or project.
Requests for Quotation
Create an RFQ from an approved requirement. Record suppliers, response deadline, requested terms and technical or commercial requirements.
Supplier Quote Comparison
Compare price, currency, delivery, payment terms, warranty, taxes, freight and approved criteria. Preserve the authorized selection reason.
Purchase Orders
Create local or foreign purchase orders and control changes, cancellations, partial delivery and remaining quantity.
Receiving and Inspection
Record what arrived, when, where and whether it was accepted, rejected or held. Stock receipts can update inventory; capital items can initiate asset registration.
Landed Cost and Foreign Purchases
Capture approved freight, insurance, customs, handling and other costs associated with imported goods. Allocation rules must be approved before affecting valuation.
Purchase Returns
Record returned quantity, reason, supplier reference and resulting inventory or finance adjustments.
Supplier Management
A supplier record can include identity, contacts, categories, registration references, payment details, approved documents, quotations, order history, delivery performance, issues, contracts and status.
Sensitive fields should be restricted. Supplier scores should use transparent criteria.
