Can you quickly place the order? I already have the invoice here.
This is how it goes every day in purchasing departments around the world.
Orders are created retrospectively to give the procurement process the appearance of legitimacy. Transparency? Not a chance! The consequences: often unnegotiated price or payment terms, additional charges because the exact scope was not specified reasonably.
One solution is to determine which orders are created after the invoice date. A simple click in WebCIS 4.0 reveals who is responsible, and corrective measures can be taken.
In our experience, up to 10% of spend volume is procured in this way – take advantage of this opportunity to take fact-based action!
