ReOps procurement best practices
When working with procurement on onboarding new tools, payments of POs, contract renewals etc. these are best practices to follow.
Best practices
- Open a ReOps tooling issue and add it to the ReOps tracker
- Provide updates in the issue
- See this example
- Determine if it’s a request for procurement or accounts payable. For new tooling, vendors, and invoices you will need to go through the procurement process. For re-ups or payments on existings contracts you need to work with accounts payable.
- Procurement: Follow the steps outlined in procurement process
- Accounts payable: Email accounts payable (AP@gitlab.com) directly with all necessary information
- Check in every 2 days to ensure the process is moving
- If the process is stuck on a step, reach out to the #procurement or #accountspayable Slack channel to identify who you can reach out to directly.
- Maintain communication and provide proactive updates with the vendor
- Provide updates and screenshots of email chains in the issue comments
- See this issue for an example
- Get confirmation from the vendor that funds were received
- Provide a screenshot in the issue comments
