Procurement
How to buy, who approves, and which suppliers to use.
Buying at Northstar
Start with the route that fits what you need to buy.
This fictional Northstar example hub helps office and frontline employees find buying guidance. Use the Procurement app to carry out purchasing work; this site is guidance, not a purchase request or approval workflow.
Buying routes, approval examples, supplier names, and process details on these pages are illustrative sample content. Confirm Northstar’s current requirements and local applicability before relying on them.
