HOW THE MODULE WORKS
Call and compare suppliers
Call approved suppliers and speak with their staff; capture price, availability, lead time and minimum quantities from the conversation.
Approve
Present quantity and supplier to an authorised user; record the reason and any edits.
Track
Connect the ERP purchase order, supplier confirmation and goods receipt to the same need.
