# Procurement & suppliers

Atiende completes the request, gathers quotes and sends the comparison to the approver. Orders, deliveries and invoices share a reference so staff can check quantities, terms and discrepancies before closing.

## From “we need it” to a received and verified purchase.

### 1. Ask for the missing specifications

Gather the product or service, quantity, required date and cost center. Check purchasing rules to identify missing information. Purchasing receives a request with the details needed to obtain comparable offers.

A requisition the buyer can request quotes for.

### 2. Put offers into one comparison

Organize prices, delivery and terms from received proposals. Flag specification differences and missing information. Buyers can review alternatives with their source documents before recommending one.

Comparable offers with differences flagged.

### 3. Take the decision to the right approver

Send the request, comparison and recommendation to the owner defined by amount and department. Retain their response and requested changes. Create or issue the order only with the required approval and enabled connection.

An approved purchase with its terms.

### 4. Check what arrived against what was ordered

Link the order, delivery and invoice to review quantities and terms. Record receipt and assign discrepancies before closure. Accounts payable receives the file with the agreed verification of what arrived.

Documented receipt and discrepancies to resolve.

## A purchase starts with a complete request

Specifications, quantities, timing and cost center stay with the request. Missing details prompt a specific question so the buyer can continue.

## Prices keep their terms

The comparison keeps each offer and its source document together. Delivery time, terms and scope differences stay with the amount so decisions account for more than isolated prices.

## Invoices meet the order and the delivery

Linking the three records helps staff locate outstanding quantities, partial deliveries and differences needing clarification before passing the file to the next accounting step.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does it select suppliers automatically?

The proposal prepares comparable information. Selection, criteria and purchase approval belong to organization-defined owners.

### Can it create purchase orders?

That action requires specific integration, authorization and controls. Initial scope can be limited to producing a reviewable draft.

### How does it handle bank-detail changes?

It must activate a separate verification procedure with authorized owners. Extracting information from a document does not validate its authenticity.
