Hello Team.

When sourcing how do you balance between general purchases and general services & work's assuming you don't have procurement system in place.

Is it any easier when using a procurement platform e.g oracle,sap or Microsoft dynamic?

Feedback would be highly appreciated.

TIA.

Is there a legal requirement in the US that an eProcurement software should pass the Invoice as is from Supplier to Buyer without changing it?

The political scene in the UK at the moment is fractious, the economic scene is too scary to think about. In a recent political panel discussion there was debate about the failure of the chancellors mini-budget to calm the nerves of the markets. A pro-government voice said that mistakes are to be embraced and learned from, whilst an opposition voice said that when an aeroplane is landing in high winds a mistake can be fatal. Putting all the politics and "mistakes" that kill people, aside no one wants them to happen, but mistakes happen. What mistakes have you made in your procurement life and what did you learn from them?

I would like to touch on a subject of Buyer and Supplier Relationship.

Quite often I hear, buyers don’t put enough effort into building meaningful relationships with suppliers… it does happen ?. However, suppliers should also put an emphasis on playing their part in maintaining good relationship with the buyers.

It’s easier to build positive relations during long term contracts, so long as there’s continuous and honest two way communication, followed by regular meetings. But what about transactional relationships. These are usually quick, snappy, formal, less friendly, and with self-interest on top.

But does it always have to be this way?  Maybe we could make those transactional relationships that little bit more meaningful. We could start by adding bit more openness, being more approachable, and adding pinch of friendliness and kindness to the professional persona. What do you think ???
