Introduction

Codeigniter Purchasing system is a web-based platform that helps businesses of all sizes elevate their entire procurement process to better manage requisitions, generate purchase orders, and monitor spending with full visibility and control into their respective purchase cycle. It has seamless flow of data and customized workflows. Automating the purchasing functions can make your company competitive in its industry to not be merely transactional but strategic enough to transform the way you do business.

Scope of Purchasing

Each employee plays an active role in the purchasing function. Many of them requisition goods and services, while others are directly involved in the purchase of such goods and services. Most of what they use in their daily work, from the paper they write on to the wax on the floors has been acquired through Purchasing. Since everyone is involved in purchasing, the Purchasing Department, in accordance with their own existing policies will determine and clarify what is expected of each involved in the purchase of goods and services.

Purpose of the Purchasing Guide

This section should be used as a guide by all employees, when requisitioning, purchasing, receiving or approving, payment for goods and services. Statements of purchasing policies and objectives, responsibilities of various individuals and departments, and procedures for the performance of some of the major purchasing functions is the responsibility of the company to disseminate.
