*Purchasing — Purchasing*

Purchasing supports Purchasing Officers, Warehouse Managers, Project Managers, and Finance Officers in recording purchases for goods and services. Your first task is to create and save a purchasing record.

## Create your first purchasing record

1. Open **Purchasing**.
2. Create a new **Purchasing record**.
3. Enter the purchase information required for the goods or services being procured.
4. Save the record.

## Confirm the result

After saving, the purchasing record opens with the entered purchase information. It is available from **Purchasing** for further processing.

## Next steps

Open the saved **Purchasing record** to continue the purchasing process, including approval, supplier ordering, and receipt of the purchased goods or services.
