Once terms and conditions have been agreed, the contract enters an approval workflow. Upon approval, the contract is centrally created in SRM. Operational purchasers can take advantage of the conditions negotiated. When users seek a specific product or service from a contract, a purchase order is created, which is then sent to the vendor. The supplier ships the required goods or provides the service to the user. The user completes a goods receipt on the basis of which the supplier creates the invoice which is then paid by the requesting organization. Additionally, the system automatically creates an electronic contract file which contains all procurement documents created. After, award, any contract modifications as well as their supporting documentation are also automatically added to the electronic contract file. The file continues to capture contractual information through close out. Business Processes |
