# Procurement — Overview

_User Guide › Procurement_

## Overview

Procurement supports the purchasing lifecycle for goods and services required by the business. Purchasing officers use this area to manage procurement records, material requisitions, and RFQs issued to suppliers.

The area brings together procurement-related records, including RFQs, Offers, and direct purchase orders. It helps teams organise supplier quotation activity and maintain the records required to progress purchasing requirements.

Procurement can also be used with project and warehouse requirements where materials need to be sourced for delivery, stock, or job execution.
