Without purchase and selling, businesses cannot run. However, when purchase orders are done at scale and for enterprises that buy large quantities, the usual process does not suffice. As an example, consider a major lemon drink wanting lemons for its raw materials. The order quantity and rate are decided on what the future production and consumption will be, on a global scale, for an aggregate of billions of families and cultures.
Hence, a purchase order flow chart is the order of the day, with clear ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ leading to a course of action that finally leads to a purchase, also known as procurement in some parts of the world.
A purchase order is, thus, an entire ecosystem of getting that vital cog in the wheel for your business at the best price possible. It is part science and part art, aiming to get a win-win for all stakeholders.

Linear, Logical Flow Indispensable
Purchasing anything for a business is a huge responsibility, which is why most businesses have separate divisions to deal with it. Purchase departments, thus, are essential as these handle billions of dollars in funds, and efficient and best use of this money is the critical deliverable expected from the division. When that happens, there are incremental savings that result. From a better-functioning finance department to the final product or service pricing, the purchase has a bearing on each. To purchase well, following a flowchart has been known to work best.
The linear, logical flow of work ensures purchase is always following an expected line, as it should. Variances in purchase price, quantity and time for delivery need to be kept at a bare minimum.
Our flow charts, as depicted above in the PPTs, showcase the process as it happens in the industry. Use this to make your life easy and ensure your procurement/purchase department emerges as the best in the industry.
