Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A straight rebuy is a routine purchase where the buyer is familiar with the product and the supplier and purchases from a pre-approved list. This matches the scenario described in the question. The other options are not applicable - a modified rebuy is when the buyer has some changes to the existing product or supplier list, a new task is when the buyer needs to make a purchase for the first time, a secondary purchase is not a recognized purchasing term, and procure-to-pay is the process of requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, and paying for goods and services in a company.
