A central source for purchase requests ensures that the correct procedures are enforced to prevent unauthorised purchasing. All departments will need to raise purchasing requests, and in some industries, this can be expanded to apply to most employees.

The purchasing team is informed of such requests and can then make the decision to generate and process the appropriate purchase orders to ensure that the correct suppliers at the best price are chosen.

Approval of Purchase Orders, Invoice Register entries and suggested payment lists can also be managed from within FocalPoint.
