Discussion
"The terms “Purchasing” and “Procurement” are often used, incorrectly, interchangeably. Importantly, and distinct from “purchasing”, procurement involves the activities involved in establishing fundamental requirements, sourcing activities such as market research and vendor evaluation and negotiation of contracts. It can also include the purchasing activities required to order and receive goods."
