Check current inventory

1 day from previous step
task
Before you order anything, verify what you actually have on hand. No point ordering something you already have plenty of. Check storage areas, supply closets, and with coworkers. Running out is bad, but overstocking ties up your budget and eats into storage space.
8

Compile the order list

1 day from previous step
task
Gather requests from team members and check which standard items need regular replenishment. Review minimum stock levels and reorder points, then consolidate similar items. Batching your orders reduces shipping costs and cuts down on admin time.
9

Use preferred vendors

1 day from previous step
task
Order from approved vendors to get your negotiated pricing and terms. Check if items are on any contracted catalogs first. Going with random vendors costs more and creates accounting headaches. If you need something from a new vendor, get procurement approval before you place the order.
10

Get approval and order

1 day from previous step
task
If your policy requires it, submit for approval first. Include your item list, quantities, and total cost so approvers have what they need. Once you are approved, place the order and save the confirmation. Note the expected delivery date and hold onto the receipt for expense reporting.
11

Receive and stock

1 day from previous step
task
Check delivered items against your order - right items, right quantities, no damage. If something is off, report it right away. Stock items in their proper locations, update your inventory records, and distribute to requesters as needed.
