bestillingsforslag

Bestillingsforslag is a term used in procurement to describe a proposal to place an order for goods or services. It is typically an internal document or system-generated record that initiates the purchasing process before a formal purchase order (PO) is issued. The concept helps capture what is needed and to route the request through the organization for approval and budget checks.

A bestillingsforslag usually contains key purchasing information such as supplier, item description, quantity, unit price or estimated price, delivery date, and delivery terms. It may also include budget or cost-center data, account assignment, and any applicable contract or framework agreement. The document serves as a basis for decision-making and ensures that purchasing aligns with internal controls and negotiated terms.

Process and lifecycle: A requisition or user creates the bestillingsforslag, which then goes through an approval workflow in procurement and finance. If the request is within budget and complies with internal policies, it is approved and typically converted into a formal purchase order to the supplier. In many organizations, the bestillingsforslag can be generated automatically from a requisition, catalog, or spend analysis within an ERP or e-procurement system.

Relation to systems and governance: In ERP and procurement platforms, the bestillingsforslag functions as a controlled step that promotes compliance with preferred suppliers, contracts, and budgeting. It provides traceability for audit purposes and helps prevent maverick purchasing by ensuring that requests follow the established approval paths before a PO is issued.
