Electronic Procurement (eProcurement) primarily involves...

• A. Conducts procurements on the internet for increased efficiency and effectiveness
• B. Processing only internal requisitions on paper
• C. Tracking inventory levels in a warehouse
• D. Managing supplier performance scoring

Answer: (A)

Electronic procurement centers on conducting purchases electronically through the internet to make the buying process faster and more efficient. It covers creating requisitions, selecting suppliers, issuing orders, and handling invoices within an integrated online system, often linked to catalogs and contract data. This online workflow reduces manual steps, speeds approvals, improves transparency, and provides centralized records for spend analysis and compliance. While features like inventory tracking or supplier performance scoring can be part of an eProcurement system, the primary aim is to execute the procurement online to boost efficiency and effectiveness, unlike paper-based requisitions.
