KENYA · GUIDE 0571 · EDITION 4.2

Purchase order administration in Kenya

Prepare and track purchase orders using approved supplier and spending information.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional PO desk PO-71 prepares five draft purchase orders from a business owner's approved requisitions. One example requests 25 reams of A4 copier paper,500 sheets per ream, against a named supplier's written quote and owner-approved total. Output is five numbered drafts, approval register and supplier acknowledgement log if sending is separately authorised. The administrator does not select suppliers, approve spend, sign contracts or treat a draft PO as a tax invoice. No order is sent merely because data entry is complete.

Who is the first customer?
