Which processing step is involved in creating a Purchase Order after a Purchase Requisition?

The process of creating a Purchase Order (PO) from a Purchase Requisition involves several steps, and in this context, the correct step is that GFEBS creates the PO. When a Purchase Requisition is approved and ready to move forward, the system can automatically convert it into a Purchase Order.

GFEBS, or General Fund Enterprise Business System, is designed to streamline the procurement process, and one of its functions is to automate the creation of Purchase Orders based on the details captured in the Purchase Requisition. This automation ensures accuracy, reduces processing time, and minimizes the potential for human error, as the system uses the requisition data to populate the necessary fields in the PO.

In contrast, the other options involve different activities that may occur in various stages of procurement but are not directly tied to the specific action of creating a Purchase Order. Purchase Order confirmation occurs after the PO is created to acknowledge its receipt and acceptance by the vendor. Contract negotiation is a pre-procurement activity that typically happens before a Purchase Requisition is even created. A manual review might occur at various stages for quality assurance, but it does not represent the system's function of generating the Purchase Order directly from the requisition data.
