The purchase officer or committee prepares summary of purchase and supplier selection, attaches it with PR and JO, and sends them to purchase manager to check correctness and completeness before submitting to an authorized person for approval. The authorized person approves the purchase by signing on the written PR or JO and clicking “Approve” in SAP.
When PR is approved in SAP, the purchase officer retrieves PR data to issue Purchase Order (PO). The printed PO is submitted to purchase manager to review correctness and completeness and sign approval. PO is sent to the supplier by fax or e-mail. An original copy of PO is kept at Purchase Department to be attached with supplier’s invoice. Purchase department also keeps one copy of PO for monitoring goods receipt, and reporting PO status. Another copy of PO is sent to Accounting Department.
