Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the oeHealth Purchase Management module.
How does multi-vendor comparison work for RFQs?
You create a single purchase request and send RFQs to multiple vendors simultaneously. As vendors respond, the system displays a side-by-side comparison of pricing, delivery times, payment terms, and quality certifications. A recommendation engine highlights the best-value option based on your configured criteria.
Can I set up blanket orders for recurring supplies?
Yes. Blanket orders allow you to negotiate pricing for a total quantity or value over a contract period and then release individual purchase orders against the blanket agreement. The system tracks consumed quantities, remaining balances, and alerts you when the agreement is nearing completion or expiration.
How many approval levels can be configured?
The approval workflow supports unlimited levels based on purchase amount thresholds, product categories, and departments. For example, purchases under a set amount may require only department head approval, while larger purchases route through procurement manager and CFO approval before processing.
How is vendor performance rated?
The system automatically tracks on-time delivery rate, quantity accuracy, quality rejection rate, and pricing consistency for each vendor. These metrics generate a vendor scorecard that can be used for vendor selection decisions, contract negotiations, and periodic vendor review meetings.
How are urgent purchase orders handled?
Urgent orders can bypass standard approval workflows with a configured fast-track process that still maintains documentation and audit trails. The system flags urgent purchases for post-approval review and tracks their frequency by department and product category to identify procurement planning improvements.
