Feature
Purchasing and supplier management
Order, receive and pay suppliers with stock and payables updating together.
What it does
Purchasing covers suppliers, purchase orders, goods receipts, payables, supplier returns and reorder alerts and suggestions. Receiving goods against an order raises stock and records what you owe.
The problem it solves
Orders raised from memory lead to stock-outs and over-buying, and unpaid supplier invoices are easy to lose track of.
How it works
- Suppliers
- Keep supplier details in one place.
- Purchase orders
- Raise orders, including from reorder suggestions.
- Goods receipts
- Receive stock against an order.
- Payables
- See what you owe and what is due.
- Supplier returns
- Return faulty goods and record it.
A practical example
The system flags that sugar has fallen below its reorder level, the manager raises an order, receives the delivery and the payable is recorded for payment.
Benefits
- Right stock at the right time
- Alerts and suggestions.
- No lost invoices
- Payables are tracked.
