Common Causes of Breakdown in Your Purchase Process-

There are myriad of reasons why your conventional purchasing system might break down or hit delays. Some of these are below-

Incorrect vendor names or mapping

If the person who created orders doesn’t know the correct name or full name of vendor or products they supply, this leads to breakdowns.

Failure to complete all essential information

This is especially a problem with paper-based ordering slips where you must fill in certain kind of information- whether that’s a product code, full names or volume of goods

Failure to use the preferred Vendors list

Many retailers have a preferred vendor list, meaning if the authority is not available, employees cannot place the orders.
