Activity Management in Procurement

This scope item enables you to use Activity Management within procurement processes. Using Activity Management, purchasers can collaborate with internal stakeholders on activities and projects. This can help to improve supplier performance and reduce costs, to establish a strategic partnership, or to develop a new category strategy.

Purchasers can create activities related to categories or suppliers and assign appropriate tasks to stakeholders within their organization. By documenting and accessing activities and tasks centrally, purchasers benefit from transparency on joint initiatives.
