What is procured influence the operative buyer's way of working. The applicability of the introduced operational processes varies depending on the characteristics of purchased products / services.
The most basic ability for a buyer is the knowledge to create a contract, often in the form of a purchase order (PO). The course gives you an introduction to the content and purpose of a PO. In order to create a PO, input from the tactical procurement role is needed. But what kind of information does the operating buyer need? The course provides the answer.
