Manage stock and admin with SAP Business One Purchasing Management

Purchasing management is a core function of the SAP Business One Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and business management solution that enables you to manage your entire procurement process from purchase order creation to supplier invoice payment.

You can create purchase orders in easy-to-understand screens and use the stored data as a basis for subsequent goods receipts. Subsequent or follow-on supplier invoice documents can be created simply by referencing purchase orders or goods receipts and thereby transferring relevant data. Return unsatisfactory shipments to your supplier using the goods return function, and post credit memos upon receipt.  The document trail in SAP Business One purchasing management captures and links every document created during a purchasing process.

SAP Business One purchasing management enables you to manage item and supplier master data with detailed, multilevel information, apply price lists and costing models to purchase items, and get an up-to-date view of purchase order values and inventory valuations. Use the supplier master record to view detailed supplier data as well as a current account balance in order to better select vendors for a particular order.
