What initiates the procurement process in GFEBS?

The procurement process in GFEBS is initiated by the Purchase Requisition. This document serves as the essential request for goods or services needed by an organization, effectively communicating the requirements to the procurement department. It outlines what is needed, the quantity, and any specific details necessary for the acquisition.

Once the Purchase Requisition is submitted and approved, it allows the procurement team to move forward with the purchasing process, which includes generating a Purchase Order to formally request goods or services from a vendor. However, without the initial Purchase Requisition, there would be no formal request to trigger the procurement activities. This foundational step is critical, as it sets the stage for the entire acquisition process within GFEBS.
