Explanation
An RFI (Request for Information) (C) is the first document issued in the procurement process. It is used to gather general information from the market about available products, services, or vendors before the buyer commits to a formal procurement approach. This research phase informs whether to issue an RFP or RFQ. An RFP (B) solicits formal proposals and comes after market research. An RFQ (D) requests price quotes for well-defined goods or services and also comes later. A PO (Purchase Order) (A) is the final document that formalizes a purchase transaction - it is the last step, not the first.
