Explanation

Service procurement follows a transactional lifecycle: you create a purchase order (D) to authorize the work, the vendor performs the service and you record it via a service entry sheet (A), then you manage the invoice (B) to complete payment - making these three the core end-to-end process flows.

Why the distractors are wrong:

C (Quota arrangements) is a source-determination configuration tool used to split procurement volume across suppliers; it's a master data setup step, not a service procurement process flow.
E (Service contracts) are outline agreements that optionally precede a purchase order, but they're upstream master data, not a mandatory process flow step - service procurement can run without them.

Memory tip: Think "Order → Confirm → Pay" - Purchase Order → Service Entry Sheet → Invoice. These three steps always occur in service procurement, while contracts and quotas are optional setup tools that sit outside the core transaction chain.
