Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Policies and procedures followed by employees to complete the purchasing process constitute a set of interrelated activities that together form a purchasing process. Therefore, the correct choice is B, processes. The other options are not suitable as they do not capture the entirety of the purchasing process. Systems (A) would refer to the technology used to automate or streamline the purchasing process. Activities (C) could be interpreted as individual tasks performed by employees, but not necessarily the entire process as a whole. Requisitions (D) specifically refer to a document that requests the purchase of goods or materials, but not the full set of policies and procedures for completing the purchasing process.
