Dora and Ariana from the MVC Purchasing department presented an overview of the purchasing cycle. The six step process includes: 1) determining division needs, 2) obtaining quotes, 3) budget review, 4) completing requisition forms and obtaining approvals, 5) receiving goods, and 6) paying for goods. Key aspects of the process include following purchasing limits, completing all forms fully, and communicating with purchasing staff to resolve any issues. The overall goal is to efficiently obtain necessary goods while ensuring compliance and responsible spending of funds.
