I hope the answer isn't 'All of the above' because that would just be too easy. Where's the fun in that?

I'm going with B. Difficulties in receiving products to meet specific needs. Central purchasing can be a double-edged sword – it may save money, but it can also limit flexibility and responsiveness to unique requirements.

Ha! I bet the correct answer is D. Receiving better price and payment terms. That's the whole point of centralizing purchasing, right? Bulk buying power and all that jazz.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think the answer might be C. Reducing the administrative burden of individual agencies, departments, or units. That's one of the main advantages of central purchasing, isn't it?

I think the correct answer is B. Difficulties in receiving products to meet specific needs. Central purchasing can sometimes lead to one-size-fits-all solutions that don't quite meet the unique requirements of individual agencies or departments.
