Purchase Order Process

Situation

• Your buyers have way too many things on their plate, and they want to email suppliers for an RFQ

Possible Scenarios

• Some parts need to be purchased through an RFQ. And some through a catalog system. 

• All PO's should be approved by someone, but your ERP system doesn't handle it natively

How it Works

• An item is triggered for purchase (either based on an ERP transaction, or on a daily schedule)

• The system identifies the supplier(s) that should receive a quote based on past purchase history and current supplier status

• An email is then sent to the supplier from the buyer's email address, requesting a quote
