What Is a Procurement Process?

6. • Process
The list of rules that need to be followed while reviewing,
ordering, obtaining, and paying for goods/services.
Checkpoints/steps increase with the complexity of the purchase.
• People
These are stakeholders and their specific responsibility in the
procurement cycle. They take care of initiating or authorizing
every stage of the process. The number of stakeholders involved
is directly proportional to the risk and value of the purchase.
• Paper
This refers to the paperwork and documentation involved in
every stage of the procurement process flow, all of which are
collected and stored for reference and auditing reasons.

What Is the ProcurementProcessFlow?
To keep the procurement
management process fair,
transparent, and efficient, a good
understanding of the procurement
process flow is key. Although the
procurement process of
organizations differs from each
other, the flowchart below sums up
the important steps in a
procurement process.

9. 
Every procurement management process involves
several elements, including requirements determination,
supplier research, value analysis, raising a purchase request,
reviewal phase, conversion to purchase order, contract
administration, monitoring/evaluation of received order, three-
way matching, payment fulfilment, and record keeping. These
are the important stages in the procurement process flow:

11. 
Stages of Procurement Process
• Step0: Needs Recognition
The preliminary step in a procurement process is recognizing the need for a
product. Be it a brand new order or a recurring purchase, needs are analyzed and the
availability is double-checked before creating a request for purchase.
• Step1: Purchase Requisition
Typically, a procurement process starts with a purchase requisition. The requester
sends a request for procurement (paper form, electronic, or phone) to the purchasing
department.
• Step2: Reviewof Request
The purchase request is then reviewed by the procurement/finance team. Approved
requests become POs, while rejected requests are sent back to the requester with the reason for
rejection. All these can be handled with a simple purchase order app

12. • Step3: Budget Approval
In enterprises, once the procurement team raises a PO, it is forwarded to the accounting
department to receive budget approval.
• Step4: Quotation Requests
Once the budget is approved, the procurement team forwards several requests for quotation
(RFQ) to vendors with the intention to receive and compare bids to shortlist the perfect vendor.
• Step 5: Negotiation & Contract
Once a vendor is selected, the contract negotiation and signing are completed, and the
purchase order is then forwarded to the vendor. A legally binding contract activates right after a
vendor accepts a PO and acknowledges it.
• Step 6: Receive Goods/Services
The vendor delivers the promised goods/services within the stipulated timeline. After
receiving them, the purchaser examines the order and notifies the vendor of any issues with the
received items.

13. • Step7: Three-Way Matching
At this step, three documents purchase orders,
packaging slips (that arrive with the order), and vendor invoices
are lined up and reconciled to pinpoint discrepancies and ensure
that the transaction is accurate. Discrepancies should be
addressed once they are discovered.
• Step8: Invoice Approval Payment
Once three-way matching is complete, the invoice is
approved and forwarded to payment processing depending on
organizational norms.
• Step9: RecordKeeping
After the payment process, buyers make a record of it
for bookkeeping and auditing. All appropriate documents right
from purchase requests to approved invoices are stored in a
centralized location.
