Procedure to define Signing Authority for Procurement Limits

[Gumby24]

Hi folks,

For medical devices do I need a procedure to define signing authority for procurement limits then also for QMS activities such as document approvals, records, contracts, DHR, etc.

I've seen very simple examples of an approval matrix but not sure if it should cover purchasing limits, etc.

Thanks,

Hi...
Your question is purely how you want to establish your purchasing $$$$ approvals.
This can be addressed in your procedure as the type and extent of controls applied.

You should check with your CFO.

It involves:
1. size of company
2. cash flow,
3. payment schedules for AP,
4. incoming of materials,
5. inventory holding cost and etc.

It will help decide your limits.
