Procurement System Description

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system accommodates a diverse range of purchasing activities for:

• Replenishing inventory.

• Acquiring materials used to complete projects.

• Charging purchased goods and services to specific departments, jobs, or cost centers.

Procurement involves order entry through actual payment for the goods and services that you receive. You must carefully plan the cycle through which you intend to process the orders and set up the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system accordingly. Setup issues include order types, line types, and order activity rules.

You can perform activities that are specific to the procurement operation, such as special order processing, approval processing, and supplier management. A variety of features are available to help you process orders quickly and effectively. Extensive review and reporting capabilities can help you make decisions about current and future purchasing strategies.
