One of the primary responsibilities of procurement and purchasing staff is to verify that the appropriate procurement method was used and that the purchase complies with the organization’s procurement policy.
It would be helpful to add a required field to identify the procurement method for each requisition. Ideally, the organization could define the available options, and the requester would select the applicable method from a drop-down menu when submitting or approving the requisition.
It would also be beneficial if certain selections could require an explanatory note. For example, an organization might configure the following options:
Exempt from Procurement: Professional Services Under $100,000
Competitive Bid: Note Required
Purchase Over $5,000: Two Quotes Attached
Sole Source: Note Required
Adding this functionality would allow procurement staff to confirm the purchasing method more efficiently, identify any required supporting documentation, and maintain a clear record of compliance with the organization’s procurement policy.
