Process of External Service Procurement
The following steps are involved in procuring
external services :
1. Determination of Requirement :
A need for certain services may arise within
a department of a company. It may involves
a project example the transition of software
documentation or maintenance work, electric
work industrial or general, DG set services,
House Keeping etc.
2. Creation of Service Specification :
When a requirement is established, a purchase
requisition is created in the system which is the
provide the base for procurement processes.
This document can contain a set of services
specification listing the necessary service in
detail. We can skip service specifications and
considering only unplanned services by setting
value limits.
3. Source determination :
To convert requirement into a purchase order
need to determine suitable service provider.

The system can help to find out suitable vendor who can provide us that required services. The source
determination function analyzes and evaluates purchasing data that already been entered in the system in
the form of service conditions or contracts. If an entirely new service has been requested, and no sources
currently recorded in the system, a bid invitation process can be carried out. This process is termed as
request of quotation (RFQ) or quotation facility for services.
4. Purchase Order and Purchase Order Monitoring
Manually we can create purchase order with reference to purchase requisition, Request for quotation,
contract. During the phase of actual services performance, the actual values for services performed or
work done continuously updated in underlying purchase order or contract release order. We can view
service procurement work progressed by referring purchase order history . Also can monitor the
confirmation of work done for each individual service line.
5. Service entry and service acceptance :
Once the service is actually performed, the system records it in service entry sheet. One or more persons
responsible then review the service entry sheet and accept it. We can separate service entry sheet and
service acceptance with in the organization, in order to maintain dual control principle.
6. Invoice Verification :
The last step in the procurement process is the verification of the vendor invoice (Service). The system
check the value, as calculated from the accepted service entry sheets, against the vendor’s invoice. The
system checks the taxes, as mentioned in the purchase order, with that mentioned in vendor’s invoice. If
the values tally, the invoice is release to finance department for payment. If values not tally, the system
issues a warning message based on settings in customizing.

Besides procurement of goods an organization may occasionally require some kind of
services. For example services are include small maintenance like, changing of lights,
painting, and house keeping. These services is carried out by the external contractors and
hence the whole process of procurement of services is known as service management. The
main points of Service Management are as under.
 Services are meant for direct consumption, can not keep inventory management services.
 Service Description along with its unit of measure is stored as master data record which is
called as service master record.
 The system stores the services that have been procured as a record in sheet that is known
as the service entry sheet.
 Service Procurement are of following types.
 Planned Service: In planned services at the time of procurement specifications like
quantity and price are not known in advance. It means nature and scope of service is
clear before procurement.
 Un-planed Service: In unplanned services at the time of procurement specifications
like quantity and price are not known in advance. It means the nature and scope of
service is not clear before procurement. These services can be extended as per the
requirement.

Service Management deals with following terms:
 Service Master Record
 Service Purchase Order
 Service Entry Sheet

the details of all the services
that can be procured from an
external vendor within an
organization. It contains the
description of services along

purchase order, but it is not
necessary. Service purchase
order can also be created
manually without reference.

Prices for valid external services that extend over a longer period can be recorded in the system in the
form of service conditions. The system applies these service conditions while determining the price in the
purchasing document. You can enter further conditions in the document itself.
You can define service master conditions at several levels in the system as follows
• At the level of service (market price or own estimate)
• At the level of service, vendor, and purchasing organization
• At the level of service, vendor, purchasing organization, and plant.
