Procurement process

In this article we will look at how the procurement process works. It all starts with the creation of a purchase invoice, which should be approved before it is issued, continues with the approval process and finally with its confirmation of payment.

The following users are involved in the process:

• owner who created the purchase invoice.
• chief approvers who are in charge of approving the purchase invoice.
• category level approvers who approve an invoice based on whether the purchased product falls under their category.
• accountant who confirms that a payment has been sent.
