Procurement scenarios

Clicking a step opens the application in the role that performs it.

Single source — náborové služby

7 steps

A purchase from one pre-selected supplier, without a competitive tender, and with a justification. The approver, controlling and the buyer always approve. The buyer confirms that supplier and issues a PDF purchase order. The request holds the quote, the purchase order and the invoice to approve.

Framework call-off

9 steps

After the award, a framework agreement with Office Pro is in place. The items are in the catalog. The requester draws them at the contract prices. The record includes the purchase order, the goods receipt and the invoice.

Contractor order and timesheets

7 steps

The catalog lists named people: some through a staffing agency (TalentBridge), others as sole traders. The requester orders person-days, the approver approves them and the contractor records hours. The requester approves the timesheet first, then the approver. The requester records payment.

From request to catalog (RFI → RFP → auction)

7 steps

Three suppliers took part in an RFI, an RFP and a reverse e-auction. A framework agreement is in place for ProConf Systems and the items are in the catalog.
