Purchase Requisition (PR)

Formalize request from a user or group, act as a control and track results
8Manage SRM supports procurement demand management including demand planning and checking to see if the purchase request (PR) can be fulfilled via existing inventory.
Demand management
8Manage SRM provides internal control (e.g., strict approval flow) to ensure no dark purchases
Approval management
8Manage SRM provides PR and tendering (RFI/RFP/RFQ) workflow to obtain proposals and quotation from selected suppliers.
RFQ & Quotation
8Manage SRM supports purchase order (PO) features and integrated workflows of purchase request (PR) and purchase order (PO).
Purchase Order
8Manage SRM measures the delivery time and delivery quality of all procurement deliveries.
Delivery Performance
8Manage provides tools to forecast, plan for and manage the demand for products and services so that they are available when the business needs them. The tools allow you to carefully manage resources, budget and forecast to ensure that the right amount of goods and services are available at the right time.
8Manage provides the purchase requisition approval flows to set clear checks and balances for spend requests related to new material, new equipment, new labors, new budgets and every other type of expense. The well-designed approval workflows protect your organization from spending over budget and running out of cash.
8Manage PR can be converted to 8 RFQ to solicit goods or services in which a business can invite suppliers to submit price quotes and bid on the job.
8Manage PR can also directly converted to 8 PR. It then becomes a legally binding agreement between the buyer and the supplier.
8Manage provides delivery metrics such as below to allow you to manage performance:
  • Number of complete deliveries
  • On-time delivery rate
  • Complain rate
  • Order accuracy rate
  • Late frequency
  • Return rate

Request Management

8Manage SRM provides source request (SR) and purchase request (PR) features as the formal kickoff of a purchase or procurement
Formal Kickoff
8Manage SRM provides source request (SR) and purchase request (PR) features for clear procurement communications.
Clear Communication
8Manage SRM provides source request (SR) and purchase request (PR) features for reducing procurement errors.
Reduce Errors
8Manage SRM provides source request (SR) and purchase request (PR) features for safequarding.
Safeguarding
8Manage PR can serve as the formal kickoff of a procurement project to make sure employees involved are aware of it, get aligned with the mission and are moving in the right direction.
8Manage can help to improve communication between different departments involved in the procurement process. This improved communication often leads to a smoother and faster procurement process overall.
8Manage Without a PR can lead to delays and errors in the procurement process. This can result in increased costs, missed delivery dates, and the need for additional communication to clarify the request.

8Manage PR helps build efficiency into the finance operation. It allows for better organization and tracking of materials, reduced ordering delays and better inventory management to reduce  errors in the process.
8Manage PR requires multiple levels of approval before a purchase can proceed. This multi-tiered approach makes it challenging for a single individual to push through unauthorized or fraudulent purchases.

Distributed Procurement

8Manage PR can collect quotations from different suppliers in real time, and then quickly compare their prices, delivery dates and other matters.
8Manage SRM supports both distributed and centralized procurement.
In decentralized procurement, demand planning and procurement of goods or services are done individually by each department. 8Manage PR can be used by each department as the formal document to request the procurement of specific goods or services, such as to request the purchase of supplies for day-to-day operations, new equipment or technology.

Centralized Procurement

8Manage PR summarizes the procurement requirements of all different departments for the same material
and aggregates the levels to form a larger total procurement demand, so as to leverage volume and obtain better prices.
8Manage SRM supports both centralized and distributed procurement.
8Manage support both (i) centralized demand management and centralized sourcing and purchasing and (ii) decentralized demand management and centralized sourcing and purchasing.

For (i), the upper level or the central procurement department will summarize the procurement requirements of all different departments for the same material and aggregate the levels to form a larger total procurement demand, so as to obtain better prices or cost savings.

For (ii), each department manages its own procurement demand and submit PR. 8Manage will automatically combine all the PR for a pre-defined period and generate an aggregated PR for the rest of the procurement steps.

Effective procurement can reduce costs, improve quality
and develop relationships with strategic suppliers.
