What is Purchasing?
The Purchasing process involves the analysis, approval and purchasing of goods or services to meet company needs. Includes requisition form completion, purchase approval by the Finance Department (all requested items should be logged into the company's systems), delivery confirmation, invoicing (received invoices should be compared to Purchase Orders to ensure accuracy) and related documentation or reporting. Once the appropriate department receives the requested products or service, packaging slips should be forwarded to the Procurement Department (in the case of the IT Department, employees should install received hardware/software before forwarding the packaging slips).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you create your Workflow Templates?
A: From real-world consulting engagements with Fortune 500 leaders. We’ve spent 25 years analyzing operations at hundreds of leading companies worldwide, documenting thousands of business processes at precise levels of detail. We’ve anonymized this data—drawn from millions of dollars’ worth of consulting assignments—and have made it available to you in easy-to-use templates at affordable OpsDog prices.
Q: What can a Workflow Template do for me?

Many businesses write off this waste as “the cost of doing business.” But you know better than that! Simply select the OpsDog Workflow Template that best fits your situation, tweak it to your liking, and then use it to train employees, identify process improvements, inform an IT project, or re-design a workflow. That’s a lot of power in your hands, cheap!
