In Spend Cloud, it's possible to classify a supplier as an internal supplier. This allows for the option of submitting order requests decentrally for products that have already been centrally procured and may be stored in a warehouse, for example.
Instead of treating the order as a purchase from an external supplier, Spend Cloud will generate an action for the delivery service associated with the internal supplier. The process leading up to this action is similar to that of an external supplier.
These actions are consolidated in the "Delivery" menu section. All employees included in the delivery group will receive a notification email about the request and can subsequently record the delivery of the goods in Spend Cloud.
Delivering Internal Orders
By clicking on a row, you can take a request into processing. All employees with access to this section can now see that the request is being processed. Additionally, you can inform the requester that the request is being handled. After the order is processed, you need to complete the action by registering whether the delivery has taken place.
You can register the delivery for all order lines simultaneously by making a selection at the top or register the delivery per order line. You have the following options:
- Delivered
The order has been delivered to the location.
- Cancelled by Supplier
The product is no longer available and cannot be delivered. You can directly notify the requester of this situation.
