Production feature
Purchasing: from request to goods receipt
A material shortage stops production, while a wrong order ties up money. The system creates a purchase request from missing material, compares supplier quotes, sends the order by e-mail and matches goods receipt with the delivery note.

Request and order
A request is suggested automatically for material at its minimum level. The buyer asks several suppliers for quotes, compares price and lead time and turns the approved quote into an order.
Authority and approval limits are defined by the company.
Goods receipt and performance
At goods receipt the quantity is compared with the order and delivery note, and differences are flagged. A supplier’s on-time delivery and quality rate are scored over time.
Passing supplier invoices to accounting depends on the accounting system.
