3.3. Purchasing
The purchasing in abas ERP provides, like the sales, a continuous
transaction processing - from requests to purchase order suggestions
and purchase orders to the recording of the incoming goods up to the
invoice verification. The purchase order processing is the central
component of purchasing. Outline agreements can also be processed.
The following basic functions are available for purchasing:
• Request management
• Purchase order suggestions
• Purchase order management
• Blanket orders
• Goods receipt
• Invoice verification
• Additional functions
3.3.1. Requests
In abas ERP requests can be conveniently administrated. Requests can be
made to vendors by filling in the appropriate screen in the abas ERP
purchasing module. This data is then transmitted electronically by
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The comparison of requests forms a
good basis for the purchase decision.
When you have selected a vendor, the system will create the requests to
which the quotations received will be allocated later on. The quotation
comparison can be used to compare prices, delivery times and
conditions.
