Purchasing

The Purchasing process covers the business processes required for the creation of requisitions, purchase orders, receipt of vendor invoices, and payment processing. The functionality is tightly integrated with Materials Management.

Requisitions may automatically be created from Material Replenishment Reports or alternatively entered manually. A sample workflow implementation is delivered with the standard product that requires Requisitions in excess of $100 to be approved. Upon approval, a report of approved Requisitions is prepared and purchase orders may be created.

This workflow is provided as an indication of the way that a Document Workflow can be setup. In Compiere, approved Requisitions automatically generate Purchase Orders.
