Pharmaplus+ Purchase Order Approvals feature allows retail pharmacies in India to establish a structured approval process for purchase orders, ensuring that all orders are reviewed and authorized before being placed with suppliers. This feature enhances financial control, prevents unauthorized purchases, and improves overall procurement management.

The Problem It Addresses

Pharmacies may face challenges such as overspending, unauthorized purchases, or inefficient ordering practices without a clear approval system for purchase orders. A structured approval process is crucial for managing procurement effectively, controlling costs, and ensuring accountability in purchasing decisions.

How It Works

Pharmaplus+ Purchase Order Approvals requires designated managers or approvers to review and approve all purchase orders before they are submitted to suppliers. Pharmacy staff can create purchase orders, but they must be authorized by a designated approver to ensure that each order aligns with budgetary constraints and inventory needs. This system enhances control and accountability in the procurement process.

Key Benefits to Retail Pharmacies

• Improve Financial Management Control procurement costs by ensuring that orders are aligned with budgetary limits and inventory needs.
• Enhance Accountability Increase transparency and accountability in the procurement process with designated approvers.
• Efficient Ordering Practices Streamline procurement operations by enforcing an organized approval process.
