Process step	描述
Buying	该流程从公司的一位采购员开始，该采购员想要购买一些商品。 采购员使用采购申请请求采购。 参与采购是为了达成最佳交易。 这可能意味着谈判新合同或适应现有合同。 采购部门会将请购单转换为采购订单，并确保在需要时填写缺失的信息。 采购部门批准采购订单 (PO)，然后将其发送给供应商。
交付	The warehouse department (if available) waits for the goods to be received. When goods arrive, the inventory is checked and updated. The goods are received by the initial buyer, who accepts the goods.
Payment	The finance department awaits the invoice to be received. When the invoice arrives, it is administrated. The invoice is paid by accounts payable. Accounting administrates the payment.
