The Advantages of Purchasing Paperwork Reduction

Date: 06/14/2017

Many of the time consuming chores of good purchasing practices can be improved by smart use of the computer. Transactions can be sped up, many errors eliminated, and labor cost reduced. A computer program to generate purchase orders provides these advantages, but proper buying still requires human interaction. The computer program will not negotiate the best deal. Neither will it insert every terms and condition required for a particular purchase. A good program allows the inter action with the buyer who must decide which clauses to insert in the PO and which clauses to not include. Automation will not replace the human element in buying.
