The purchase officer checks PR and classifies a purchasing request as follows:
1. General purchases (SG&A) –excluded purchases of fixed assets and CAPEX
2. Purchases of fixed assets –purchase and acceptance committee (คณะกรรมการจัดซื้อและตรวจรับ) is to be delegated for purchases over THB 1,000,000.
3. Purchases for specific projects.
The purchase officer inquires a material code for the requesting goods/services from Finance Accounting, notes the code on the written PR or JO, keys it into SAP, and checks accuracy and completeness of PR details. The purchase officer then collaborates with the requestor to select supplier.
