Hankintapyyntö

A hankintapyyntö, or purchase request, is a formal document used within an organization to initiate the procurement process for goods or services. It serves as an internal request from an employee or department to the purchasing department or designated procurement team, detailing the specific items or services needed. The purpose of a hankintapyyntö is to ensure that all purchases are authorized, budgeted for, and follow established company procedures.

Typically, a hankintapyyntö includes essential information such as a description of the goods or services required, the quantity needed, the desired delivery date, and the intended use. It often requires justification for the purchase and may also include information about preferred suppliers or specific technical specifications. The requestor usually needs to provide their department and cost center for accounting purposes.

Once submitted, the hankintapyyntö undergoes an internal review process. This may involve approval from a manager, budget holder, or other authorized personnel to verify the necessity and financial feasibility of the request. Upon approval, the purchasing department can then proceed with actions like obtaining quotes from suppliers, negotiating terms, and issuing a purchase order. The hankintapyyntö acts as the foundational document that triggers and guides the entire procurement workflow, ensuring transparency and control over organizational spending.
