Procurement covers how stock enters the network from suppliers: maintaining supplier records, raising purchase orders (POs) and receiving them, and sending stock back with returns-to-vendor (RTV).

What it is for

  • Keep a directory of suppliers.
  • Raise purchase orders and receive them line by line into stock.
  • Return defective or unwanted stock to a supplier and track the credit.

Key screens and actions

1

Manage suppliers

Maintain supplier records; a supplier can be created, edited and deactivated. Each supplier’s related purchase orders are visible from its detail.
2

Raise a purchase order

Create a PO for a supplier with the units and quantities to order. The purchase-order list tracks each PO’s status.
3

Receive a purchase order

Record receipt of a PO’s lines; the variance view highlights differences between ordered and received quantities, and receiving updates stock.
4

Return to vendor

Raise an RTV, ship it back to the supplier, and record the credit once settled.
