Purchase System Procedures
Premier’s purchase transactions are initiated when its inventory
levels for a certain item falls below the designated reorder
point.This is electronically monitored through Premier's inventory
requisition system that is directly linked to the inventory file. Once
an item falls below the reorder point, an open requisition record is
automatically created. A valid vendor file is used both to retrieve
stored vendor information and to check that items are being
ordered through a preapproved vendor with which the company
has done business in the past. Digital purchase requisitions are
made available to the clerks in the inventory control department
and the purchasing department via computer terminal.
When the purchasing department clerk views the digital
requisition, she prepares and prints five hard copies of the
purchase order. One copy is filed in the department. A second
copy is sent to the receiving department. A third copy is sent to
the accounts payable department. A fourth copy is sent to the
Inventory control department. A final copy is sent to the vendor as
placement of the order.
