Materials and purchasing

Purchasing and materials: from the order to each area’s consumption.

Buy from your suppliers and deliver materials to each cost center, with inventory, accounts payable and accounting up to date.

Buy what you need and know who uses what.

From the planning suggestion to receipt at the warehouse and posting of consumption.

Purchase orders

Quantities, prices, discounts, warehouse, terms, early payment and foreign currency with exchange rate.

Estimated withholdings

Estimated withholding tax, VAT withholding and ICA withholding, and the net payable, before you receive the invoice.

History while you buy

Previous purchases, stock ledger, orders and requisitions for the item from the same line.

MRP-suggested purchases

An inbox with the planning suggestions to generate the order by supplier.

Internal requisitions with reservation

Materials charged to a cost center, with the stock reserved in the warehouse.

Control by cost center

Authorize, user by user, which cost centers they can request for.

Posted consumption

Delivery draws down the stock ledger at average cost and charges the expense to the cost center.

Purchase returns

Return at the original cost and generate a credit balance with the supplier.

Order notifications

In-system notification, and by email if configured, when an order is created and when it’s received.

Reports and dashboards

The information to decide, without building reports.

All of them export to Excel and PDF.

  • Purchases by supplier and by item, and detailed annual purchases
  • Annual consumption and inventory activity by cost center
  • Internal requisition status and orders placed vs. received
  • Materials and purchasing dashboard: purchases for the year and month, orders to receive and internal requisitions to deliver

The order doesn’t move anything until the goods arrive.

When it’s received into the stock ledger, the stock, the payable and the entry are generated. The receipt can take the supplier’s e-invoice from the inbox.
