Procurement Module Help

Use Procurement to manage requests, approvals, RFQs, quotations, purchase orders, receiving follow-up, and vendor performance.

Request-To-PO Lifecycle

  1. Create a request with item, quantity, department, need date, justification, and attachments.
  2. Route the request for approval according to your organization policy.
  3. Create an RFQ when vendor quotes are needed.
  4. Invite vendors and compare quotations by price, availability, delivery, terms, and quality signals.
  5. Create a purchase order from the approved choice.
  6. Track vendor acknowledgement, shipment, receiving, and matching against expected quantities.

Permissions Needed

Requesters, procurement officers, approvers, receivers, and finance users may see different actions. If you cannot approve, convert a quote, issue a PO, or receive goods, ask a tenant admin to review your role.

Common Mistakes

  • Submitting vague item descriptions or missing required dates.
  • Inviting vendors before the RFQ requirements are complete.
  • Choosing a quotation based only on price while ignoring delivery and terms.
  • Receiving goods without checking PO quantity, delivery note, and actual stock.
