The Acquisition Proposal Activity file records information about the acquisitions process. You can record the details of a prospective acquisition in a sequence of logical steps from proposal through to approval or refusal. Key fields in the Acquisition Proposal datafile are Acquisition Source, Reason, Method, Valuation and Price, Funding, Recommendation and Approval details. It is possible to create new object records for items considered for acquisition. Alternatively, if you do not want to create new object records for each considered item, you can list them in the free text field, Item Description.
