ODPM desc:Appropriate e-procurement solutions in place, including as a minimum paperless ordering, invoicing and payment.
 
IDeA guidance:This outcome requires councils to have processes and systems in place to:

Generate orders electronically
- Via their PC, a buyer should be able to view inventory online; to select a required product or service from an electronic catalogue or by entering a product code; to generate an electronic order and to obtain authorisation for it electronically if required; and to transmit the order directly to the supplier.

Receipt goods and accept invoices electronically
- The buyer should be able to log the receipt of goods electronically; to accept and log invoices in electronic form; and to match the electronic purchase order, delivery receipt and invoice details on their system before payment to the supplier is authorised.

Make electronic payments
- Once a payment has been authorised, the council should be able to make the transfer of funds to the supplier electronically, generating an electronic notification of payment to the supplier. For low value purchases, the use of purchasing cards should be considered.
