PURCHASING TRAINING

Purchasing Training for Principals, Secretaries & Administration
 

Location: Barbara Byrd-Bennett Center

Dates:  Vary

Times:  Vary           
 
Agenda  
Description: This session is an Overview of compliance, process, functions, and areas of responsibility.

As part of our District's ongoing financial challenges we are addressing an area that needs the attention of everyone who handles purchases in this District.  For too long there has been a practice by District employees of inputting Purchase Orders after an invoice was received. There can be no unauthorized purchase of goods and services. This is prohibited by both District Policy and more importantly by State Law.  The following are addressed in the Purchasing training sessions:

 

Vendor Relations & Issue resolution, Quotes, RFPs, RFQs, RFI, RFB, Technology contracts and OnBase Vendor Registration.

 

Purchase orders, entry, required Data, approvals and E-rate overview and processing.
