Purchasing products
As part of the procurement process, you need to manage purchase requisitions, purchase orders, receipts, and returns.
- Purchasing products with procurement cards
You might be issued with a procurement card to buy products and services for your organization. - Requisitioning purchases
If you want to purchase products or services that are not included in a standard contract, you might need to gain approval before you can create the purchase order. You create a purchase requisition to gain this approval and to request the items from the vendor. - Ordering purchases
As part of the procurement process, you need to order the products and services from the vendor. - Receiving products
You create receipts to track the materials that were received by the organization and associate the purchase order with the vendor. The details from the associated purchase order are included in the receipt. - Returning products
If the shipment is unsatisfactory, you can return the product to the vendor. For example, a product might be returned if it is damaged or if duplicate shipments are made. The details from the associated purchase order are included in the return record.
