Purchasing
Requisitions - Vendor Applications
The Purchasing module provides controls for the complete procurement process, from vendor quoting through receiving, inspection, material disposition, and material vendor returns. Vendor quotes are collected against items with multiple vendor price comparisons used by the system to recommend vendor selection for each purchase order. Requisitions can be generated automatically from M.R.P. or can be entered by users. Once approved, requisitions can be automatically converted to P.O. lines.
The receiving process includes an optional inspection procedure defined by item. An item may be received directly to a line stocking location, to a specific job, or simply to its primary stocking location. In addition, the purchasing module works together with the work order management module to control the procurement and scheduling of outside services.
