Abstract
Having reviewed some of the considerations underlying purchases, we may now take a closer look at purchasing routines. In chapter 4 the purchasing process was analysed into four stages:
-
(i)
finding out what is wanted and when;
-
(ii)
deciding supplier and price;
-
(iii)
placing and chasing order;
-
(iv)
receiving the goods and approving payment.
