Introduction

You use Procurement to manage purchase activities and maintain the data that is the result of these activities.

The procurement functionality includes several functional procedures that (partly) control the purchase of goods. The main purchase procedure is the purchase order procedure. In most cases, the purchase order procedure does not act as a stand-alone procedure, but is preceded and followed by other procedures.

The purchase schedule procedure runs parallel to the purchase order procedure.

The vendor rating procedure follows the purchase order procedure.
