Questions for your evaluation

Ask how responses, quotes and exceptions are compared, and who approves the next step.
What happens from purchase request to payment?
Walk through one request, approval, order, receipt and invoice. Identify the steps handled in the product and in connected systems.
How will this work with your existing systems?
Confirm the required data, supported connectors, permissions and ownership of implementation.
