Compare the vendors.

After locating several vendors the next step is to evaluate and compare them (price, quality, delivery, terms, reliability, service). Once a vendor is chosen, you would then select the product and prepare/issue a purchase order. Completing a balance sheet is not part of this purchasing step.
