iProcurement Process Flow

1. Order Entry

The iProcurement system allows JPL employees to search product catalogs online. Users enter orders through the iProcurement system. A certified user will approve & submit the order. Purchase orders requesting Sun Microsystems', Symantec, and Dataram items are electronically transmitted directly to Dynamic Systems through the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

2. Order Fulfillment

Dynamic Systems will process the purchase order(PO) upon receipt. Although, the required delivery is 15 business days, our normal delivery time is within 5 to 10 working days upon receipt of PO.

When a workstation is purchased with its internal components (for example, CD-ROM drive, Memory, etc.), Dynamic Systems will integrate and test the internal components free of charge for JPL as part of our value-added service.

In addition to systems integration, Dynamic Systems affixes the JPL property tags on all controlled equipment items. We use our custom-designed program to keep track of each workstation’s unique configuration as well as other reference information for warranty and support purposes. When all items are ready for delivery, we provide the appropriate labels and packing lists on each package to simplify the receiving process at JPL.

3. Receiving and Delivery

Dynamic Systems will deliver the complete order to the JPL receiving dock. The JPL receiving dock will receive each line item into the iProcurement system and acknowledge the items as received. JPL receiving will then route the packages to the user and mail stop listed on each PO.
