Who is responsible for creating a purchase order (PO) manually in GFEBS?

The individual responsible for manually creating a purchase order in GFEBS is the Purchase Order Processor. This role is specifically designated to handle the creation and management of purchase orders within the system, ensuring that all necessary details are accurately captured and aligned with organizational policies and procedures.

The Purchase Order Processor has the expertise to navigate the system effectively, input the required information, and ensure that the purchase order reflects the intent of the requisition in compliance with the forecasting and budgeting processes. This role is critical in maintaining the flow of goods and services acquisition, facilitating communication between suppliers and the organization, and supporting overall procurement operations.

In contrast, the other roles, such as the Purchase Requisition Processor, work on creating requisitions that lead to the purchase orders but do not directly create the purchase orders themselves. Similarly, the Purchase Requisition Close Processor is involved in closing out requisitions once they are fulfilled, while the Purchase Order Auditor focuses on reviewing and auditing the purchase orders for accuracy and compliance rather than creating them. Thus, the role of the Purchase Order Processor is essential for initiating the purchasing process in GFEBS.
