Here are the business benefits of Oracle ERP cloud touchless buying:
Imagine a scenario where requisition lines are marked as “Negotiated,” and without the need for any purchase agreement reference, they seamlessly transform into purchase orders. This eliminates the delays and complexities associated with manual interventions.
The key to this automated magic lies in enabling the “Negotiated” checkbox. When activated, this feature signifies that all prices have been diligently negotiated with the supplier, allowing for a touchless buying experience. This not only accelerates the procurement process but also enhances accuracy and compliance.
Oracle ERP Cloud’s Touchless Buying represents a significant leap forward in procurement efficiency. By automating the transition from requisitions to purchase orders and empowering touchless buying, organizations can simplify their procurement processes, reduce manual work, eliminate delays, and improve accuracy and compliance. Embracing this innovative approach can revolutionize how businesses manage their purchasing operations, making them more efficient and agile in the modern business landscape.
