Afyawingu’s Purchase Requisition (PR) Feature: Smarter Procurement for Healthcare

In large healthcare organizations—such as multi-chain hospitals and pharmacies—managing inventory and procurement can be complex and time-consuming. Afyawingu’s Purchase Requisition (PR) Feature simplifies this process by centralizing requests, streamlining workflows, and ensuring that essential medical supplies reach the right departments on time.

How Afyawingu’s Purchase Requisition Feature Works

The PR feature is designed for healthcare setups where purchasing is centralized. Whether in hospitals with multiple departments or pharmacies with several branches, Afyawingu makes procurement seamless through the following steps:

1. Raising Purchase Requests
   Each department or branch can submit a Purchase Requisition (PR) for the supplies they need. This ensures that every unit’s specific requirements are clearly captured.

2. Consolidating Requests at the Central Store
   Once requests are submitted, the central procurement team aggregates them into a unified list. This eliminates the inefficiency of managing multiple orders separately.

3. Generating a Centralized Purchase Order (PO)
   After consolidation, the system allows the central team to create a single Purchase Order (PO). Bulk purchasing based on collective needs reduces costs and improves vendor negotiations.

4. Goods Receipt and Distribution
   When supplies arrive, a Goods Received Note (GRN) is generated to acknowledge delivery. The central store then distributes items to the respective departments or branches according to their requisitions—ensuring timely and accurate delivery.

Key Benefits of Afyawingu’s PR Feature

• Centralized Procurement Efficiency – Streamline purchasing across departments and branches, cutting down on redundant orders.

• Simplified Workflow – Combine multiple requests into a single purchase order for faster processing.

• Accurate Inventory Tracking – Prevent shortages and overstocking with precise requisition tracking.

• Optimized Resource Management – Allocate supplies efficiently to ensure critical items are always available.

• Better Collaboration – Improve coordination between departments and the procurement team for smoother operations.

Why Centralized Purchasing Matters in Healthcare

In healthcare, delays in obtaining essential supplies can directly affect patient care and pharmacy operations. A decentralized or manual process often leads to stockouts, over-purchasing, and inefficiencies.

Afyawingu’s PR Feature solves these challenges by:

• Ensuring that every department’s requests are properly addressed.

• Improving operational efficiency with centralized purchasing.

• Enhancing patient care by guaranteeing the availability of critical supplies.
