Procurement webinars to inform your thinking.
Video lets you explore a method, then revisit the points relevant to your business. Before viewing a resource, frame a question and note the information you already have. You can then distinguish the examples presented from the decisions your organisation needs to make.
Class C procurement can be examined through processing time, administrative costs or the division of operations. Choose the angle that addresses your current challenge rather than seeking a single answer to every issue.
Information that matters
Make the most of procurement recordings.
Before
Choose a question shared by procurement, finance or users. Identify the data you will need to discuss the examples after viewing.
During
Note the steps in the method and the conditions behind the results presented. Distinguish between a testimonial, an example and a calculation assumption.
After
Gather the team's questions, then agree on a simple operational check. Reviewing a real request may be enough to clarify the next area of work.

Prepare practical business discussions.
Information moves between teams. Responsibilities stay clear.

A practical scope
A BME recording on the hidden costs of one-off purchases.
BME's page on the hidden costs of spot purchases provides access to the recording. It is the starting point for the resource and its access details. Figures and examples must be considered in context; they do not predict the outcome of your project.
Your initial scope
Continue with the right questions.
Sourcing Force provides the application workflow and BME carries out the assigned operations. Your ERP/S2P remains the system of record for rules, approvals, commitments and orders. This division connects business discussions with clear responsibilities in your organisation.
For your class C purchases, follow up by collecting time and cost data within a defined scope. The simulator then helps you compare assumptions. For upcoming events, check the information published on the organiser's page.
