Administration guidance

Manage procurement policies

Define effective-dated purchase rules and evidence expectations for consistent control evaluation.

FOR
Organisation administrator, Procurement, Auditor
OUTCOME
Use RAQOZ to define effective-dated purchase rules and evidence expectations for consistent control evaluation.

Before you begin

  • Organisation administrator access, or another role explicitly permitted for the setting.
  • The organisation has agreed the control or operating decision before configuration.

Guidance

  1. 1

    Create a draft policy from the organisation's approved procurement requirements.

  2. 2

    Define the available scope, rule conditions, evidence requirements and exception treatment.

  3. 3

    Review the draft independently and activate only the approved version.

  4. 4

    Do not describe policy configuration as legal, statutory or certification compliance.

Evidence RAQOZ retains

  • Policy draft and scope
  • Review and activation events
  • Effective-dated active version

Common issues

A configuration change behaves differently than expected.

Review scope, effective date, inheritance and status. Use a representative test or no-write simulation before activating a policy change.

A prior transaction appears to use an older rule.

That may be correct. Effective-dated versions preserve the policy context used at the time instead of rewriting history.
