Handle online purchases efficiently while following approval protocols.
Research thoroughly - Compare options, read reviews, and verify specifications before recommending.
Know the threshold - The $500 mark determines whether you need additional approval.
Document your research - Use research templates to present options clearly with pros, cons, and pricing.
Confirm before large purchases - Always get explicit approval for purchases over the threshold, including final price with tax and shipping.
Save receipts - Keep all purchase confirmations and receipts organized for expense tracking.
