The process for ordering, receiving, and paying for these items was burdened with paper. An electronic invoice is then sent to the bill payer and funds are electronically transferred to the prime vendor's bank account.
Transactions are paperless.
DAPAs establish prices to be paid for these items. The number and type of products stocked and distributed by each prime vendor are determined by demand factors from the MTFs and DAPAs. For the past two years, Prime Vendor has been deployed to MTFs and other ordering sites world wide. Benefits associated with implementation of Prime Vendor are substantial.
