_Preparation_A procurement intern assists a procurement clerk in all common duties a procurement clerk handles. A procurement clerks main duty is preparing purchase orders for ordering merchandise and supplies. To do this, an intern determines what goods are needed and if the goods are available in the companys inventory. The clerk also checks to see if the goods are still available from the companys normal supplier. The intern assists the clerk in searching catalogs and Internet sites looking for new suppliers. When new suppliers are found, many companies issue invitation-to-bid forms and send them to the suppliers. The suppliers fill out the forms and return them to the company. The intern helps create spreadsheets reflecting the goods each company has available as well as the prices.
When the spreadsheets are created, it is the job of the procurement clerk to choose the best supplier for the goods. The clerk may utilize several companies products, always ensuring the company is getting the best price for the best quality goods. The intern also assists in choosing these goods and comparing prices as well as comparing expected delivery dates. When the suppliers are chosen, purchase orders are sent to them when the orders are ready to be placed. The appropriate divisions within the organization are notified at the time the order was placed._Communication_
Communication is an important duty for a procurement intern. Much of the clerks job is made up of communication between departments in the company and with suppliers. The intern learns to communicate with suppliers regarding the status of delivery dates for orders. If products are back ordered or will be delayed too long, the intern and clerk must decide if the products should be ordered from another source. When orders come in, procurement clerks match purchase orders with shipment documents verifying that all information is correct. If there are inaccuracies, the clerk contacts the supplier to resolve the issues.
