The Procurement procedure in Oracle :

1. Purchase Requisition 

It has to two types of requisitions.
  • Internal Requisition : They are created if the items are transferred from one location to other within the same organization and it doesn't require any approval.
  • External Requisition : They are created if the goods are required from external supplier. It requires to be approved.
  • Each requisitions are to be approved for further process.
  • Navigation : Purchasing > Requisitions > Requisitions.

2. Purchase order 

  • We can auto generate the purchase order for the previous requisition directly.
  • Manually create the Purchase order based on the requirement.
  • Navigation : Purchasing > Purchase orders > Purchase orders.

3. Receipts 

  • The receipts are created after the goods are received and the list consists of the items that are received with quantity and their price.
  • Navigation : Inventory > Transactions > Receiving > Receipts.

4. Invoice

  • Invoice is created for the items that are delivered, which is done in accounts payable section.
  • Navigation : Accounts Payable > Invoices > Entry > Invoices.

5. Returns 

  • If needed to return any of the items that are received from the supplier we send the returns.
  • Navigation : Inventory > Transactions > Receiving > Returns.

6. Payment

  • The Payment is done to the supplier. The payments are done based on the payment terms that the supplier has.
  • Navigation : Accounts Payable > Payment.

Disadvantages :

  • Long process for a single purchase transaction to finish completely.
  • It takes time for a new user to understand the transaction process.
  • So many terms to fill in a section to complete.
