Depending on the purchase value, all purchase orders can be subject to approval by the head of a department. Purchase order types range from simple material purchases up to complex investments.

All stock ingress is directly connected to purchase orders or return material. All stock withdrawal is connected with various entered warehouses and can be configured to be done automatically with entering of production data feedback. All stock movement is documented by the system with entered and calculated prices. Automatic capturing of incoming invoices. Data transfer to finance and accounting solutions is done by using configured interfaces and manageable through workflows.

Timely purchase order placement and delivery for demand- and stock-driven purchase articles is the main task of material resource planning (MRP). The MRP run for purchase orders includes the determination of the required quantity for production as well as ordered and stocked quantity. Excess ordering is mathematically impossible.
