Purchasing
Workday Procurement handles all the traditional activities associated with purchasing goods and services—requisition, order, receipt, matching, and payables initiation—while also addressing the unique challenges faced by today’s business environment. Strict compliance with company policies, slicing and dicing of purchasing data, workflow routings and approvals, supplier collaboration and services requisitioning are all critical. When combined with Workday Financial Management, Workday Procurement provides end-to-end support of the procure-to-pay process for both goods and services.
Streamlined Purchasing
Workday Procurement automates the purchasing process while providing the service, control and reporting needed by all participants in the procure-to-pay process.
- For requesters, a familiar and easy-to-use experience inspired by the consumer web.
- For professional buyers, spend-management tools including workflow routings that inform them of all purchase activity and multi-dimensional reports that analyze spend by item, category, organization, requester or other relevant dimension.
- For managers, approval routing that provides both information and the final say on departmental spending.
- For accountants, a built-in internal control and accounting policy provides accuracy and confidence in “the numbers” coming out of the procure-to-pay process.
