Save time and money in Purchasing |

example, price comparisons can be made during the procurement process or automate the vendor selection or order creation processes. The Vendor Evaluation
application enables you to select the appropriate vendors using evaluation criteria of your choice. You also have the option of requiring purchasing

personnel using electronic signature. You can send purchase orders or forecast delivery schedules to the vendors either on paper or electronically
