Businesses require purchases and procurement to ensure smooth operations. With technology becoming such a significant enabler, procurement can quickly be taken on a global level, provided you have the scale to do so. For instance, developing world countries routinely invite global tenders for critical infrastructure projects and to procure the needed supplies for these.

Here’s a procurement flow chart for the finance department.

Most countries’ food and agriculture supplies follow a multi-step requisition process before business comes into the picture. In general, a flowchart in business procurement is the answer to ensure that all Yes-No questions are answered when these need to be logically clear, and so on.

Yet, businesses cannot design and execute these purchase flowcharts in isolation. They have to be presented to and explained to stakeholders and their meaning derived, and to do this well, you need professional flowcharts and diagrams.

Template 1 Procurement Flowchart Purchasing Process Flowchart

This master PPT Template describes the purchasing process that forms the procurement flow. Step 1 is to complete the purchase requisition form and wait for approval. If the answer to the Approved question is Yes, then the process moves on one of the two paths: cash payment or credit card payment. If the payment is in cash, the next question to answer is whether it is an independent contract. Another Yes, No fork follows this with NO requiring a Pay Order (PO) from the finance controller. In the case of a credit card, the steps involve filling out a customer payment processing form, with these documents going to the contractor for approval. Overall, the result of the flowchart converges with the Invoice Payment Order (PO).

Now, you understand what it takes to actually procure for large business organizations that have to ensure quality, price and adherence to laws.

CRITICAL AND ORDERLY PROCESS NEEDED

Procurement processes have a lot in common with systems that depend on algorithmic accuracy. Especially, when converted into a flowchart, there is no better way to decide a Yes/No answer. It is simply too critical that the right decision be made, and hence it must be ensured that the procurement flowchart is designed after considering every possibility.
