Procurement

The simplicity of managing purchase price lists through the import of supplier prices and references enables smarter purchasing decisions based on discounts, quantities, packaging units, and special contractual conditions. Sales prices can be based on supplier prices, with automatic updates reflecting fluctuations in supplier pricing. Price lists allow for defining discounts, tiered discounts based on quantity or taxable value, and unit prices for different quantity tiers.

The price list maintenance function allows for updating prices and discounts for selected items in the list, and for duplicating a price list while applying price increase or decrease logic.

This add-on was developed to address the typical needs of commercial businesses that work with national catalogs and discount categories. It is designed for companies that keep their sales prices aligned with purchase prices by linking sales discount categories to supplier discount categories.

The purchase request is the link between production and the accounts payable cycle. Purchase requests are automatically generated based on production planning results. Users can insert and modify them to include non-production materials.

With RFQs, you can create purchasing tenders, integrate supplier responses into the process, and compare proposals. With a single click, purchase requests can be turned into RFQs. By selecting the best offer, purchase orders can easily be created, and supplier quality can be analyzed through dashboards.

The ease with which supplier orders can be created from purchase requests, the best offer, or customer orders allows companies to efficiently manage their procurement processes. Users can choose, based on specific parameters, which supplier to order from and the pricing method to apply in the order.

Adding product variants to purchase orders is simple through a grid or matrix that displays all possible combinations of product attributes (e.g., sizes, colors).

With just one click, you can generate goods receipt lists from supplier orders to check incoming materials, including variants, locations, lots, and serial numbers. The warehouse manager will have real-time access to stock levels and the availability of raw materials for other departments.

The Purchasing department can create goods receipt documents by processing supplier orders. The user can integrate the necessary data into the delivery notes for verifying goods and validating purchase invoices. Dashboards provide control over prices between ordered and received items.

With integration to Fluentis Business Hub, receiving electronic purchase invoices becomes hassle-free, providing a significant advantage. The automatic generation of purchase invoices from the fulfillment of supplier orders, along with the automatic creation of accounting entries for the invoices, saves a considerable amount of time. The inventory posting procedure for purchase invoices also simplifies the management of goods availability and stock levels.
