INTEGRATED PURCHASING
The integrated purchasing system is an optional module that provides a single
purchasing system that functions across all inventory points. Without this system purchasing is performed
at an individual stock holding level and there is no global view of purchases.
The purchasing system also includes features not covered by the individual purchasing modules. These include
requisition control, conversion of requisitions to orders, approval and rejection workflow rules and the
recording and tracking of incoming shipments from suppliers.
Financial integration is also provided, and purchases can either be funded from existing cash reserves,
or utilising LC facilities from financial institutions. All facilities are managed in the purchasing module,
and the available funds from the LC facilities are automatically updated based on the creation of purchase
orders and the repayment of funds to financial institutions. Integration of this information to your
accounting package is also provided.
All receipting of products at the various inventory stock holdings automatically updates the purchase
orders and can be used to generate accounts payable information for transfer to the accounting package.
In addition to raw materials purchasing, purchases for non-inventory products and services is provided
through a separate but similar module. The non-inventory purchasing module features requisition control,
order approvals and rejections, creation of purchase order documentation and integration to your
financials package.
Utilising these two systems can provide you with a single system on which to enter all purchase
order information and from which to manage all your suppliers.
