Reporting and Interfacing Requirements for Purchasing Management Features and Functions
In order to track the efficiency of the purchasing department, organizations need to access statistics and reports on what has been ordered compared to what has been received; the quality of the services provided by each supplier; price comparisons between different suppliers, etc. These reports are useful not only for the purchasing department, but also for other departments that depend on goods received, such as production, sales, and accounting.
