proALPHA

Purchasing departments manage data about complex long-term conditions, but they are also responsible for the flexible handling of data about a constantly-changing array of components and raw materials.

The proALPHA Purchasing module provides a full range of functionalities from the selection of suppliers, purchase order handling and follow-up to stock receipt and subsequent invoice control. The Buyer has quick and easy access to all relevant data. The Purchasing module is fully integrated into the proALPHA information flow via the Workflow automation function, providing comprehensive data ranging from purchasing information on an assembly that was stored by the Engineering Design department to price queries from Sales.

The proALPHA Purchasing module can be used to trigger complete external orders, orders for components from in-house production, and to procure processing services. In addition to freely-defined variable price units, proALPHA offers a choice of absolute and percentage discounts and surcharges. The entire range of functionalities for contract processing and releases are part of the proALPHA standard package.

Orders can be entered by hand or generated automatically. The purchase order printout is transferred to the proALPHA Financial Accounting module and the cash forecast is immediately adjusted accordingly.
