No purchase order leaves without the right approval
Procurement is the easiest place for money to leak, usually not through bad intent but a missing path: a verbal request, an urgent purchase, an invoice with no order to match it. The system makes the path mandatory.
The module
What the purchasing module covers
From a department request to a supplier invoice.
Request and approval
- A requisition from the department with reason and budget
- An approval flow on tiered spending limits
- Comparing quotes from several suppliers
- A purchase order with agreed terms and prices
- An alert when a budget line is exceeded
Receipt and suppliers
- Partial or full receipt tied to the purchase order
- Three-way matching of order, receipt and invoice
- A supplier register rating delivery reliability
- Active price agreements and their renewal dates
- Purchasing reports by item, department and supplier
Three-way matching
The one control that stops paying twice
Three-way matching means an invoice is only paid if it matches an approved purchase order and an actual goods receipt. It looks like bureaucracy until a company discovers it paid a duplicate invoice, or paid in full for goods that arrived short. The system blocks both before the invoice ever reaches payment.
What three-way matching prevents
Reporting
What appears once every purchase follows a path
Three reports that change your next negotiation.
Supplier punctuality
On-time delivery rate per supplier, your strongest card when any agreement comes up for renewal.
Off-contract buying
What was bought at a price other than the agreed one, a silent leak in most companies.
Approval cycle
How many days a request takes to authorisation, and exactly where it waits.
