I had two cases like this in my career. The first one was a cost cutting initiative during which the managing director of the second largest production site signed POs for office material. At the same time procurement, strategic and operational, signed frame contracts and created POs against these worth millions for raw material and stuff like that on group level.

The second case was a company in which every single drop ship order from there customers had to be ordered individually from the dropshipper. Every such order had to created manually and needed managing director EMEA approval in writing.
