Investigate and explain purchase price variances, ensuring differences between purchase order prices, invoice prices, and standard costs are identified, understood, and resolved.
Communicate supplier price changes, rebates, credit notes, and changes to commercial terms promptly to the Finance team to ensure accurate financial reporting.
Liaise with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve purchasing, delivery, and payment issues efficiently.
Ensure purchasing records, supplier information, and pricing data are maintained accurately within the ERP system.
