organisation wants to buy a specific product or service and vendors share their
quotations.
ii. A Goods Receipt Note (GRN) is issued to record the delivery of items from your
suppliers. It is also known as a delivery note, which is used as an evidence that goods

RFQ (Request for Quotation) is for issuing requests for quotation, receiving and
analyzing quotations and selecting the right supplier based on the quotations
received

Once the negotiation process is over with a supplier, PO is raised so that supplier can
start production and deliver accordingly.

On receiving and accepting goods, a GRN (Goods Receipt Note) is issued. This also
helps in the supplier's invoicing process.
