MARKET PURCHASING:
Purchase of goods usually in smaller
quantities or in an emergency without
contract or negotiations.
SPECULATIVE PURCHASING:
When purchasing is done purely from the
point of view of taking advantage of a
speculated rise in price of the commodity.
The intent is not to buy for the internal
consumption but to resell the commodity at a
later date when the prices have gone up & to
make a profit by selling.
The items may be those that are needed for
internal consumption but the qty. shall be
much more than the requirement so as to take
the advantage of the coming price rise.
CONTRACT PURCHASING:
In this, the purchase department enters into
agreement with various suppliers to supply the items
at some future period periodically.
In contract purchasing, a purchaser agrees to buy
goods to be paid for in a series of installments, each
comprising a proportion of the capital and an interest
element.
After a final payment, legal ownership passes to the
user.
SCHEDULED PURCHASING:
The purchasing is scheduled according to
the requirements of the various
departments or of the organisation.
