Approval of order proposals by the purchaser

Purchasing has the option of having purchase order proposals created by suppliers released by a specific purchase order approval workflow.

The purchase order approval workflow to be used must be assigned to the VMI suppliers in supplier management in the supplier master, “Advanced” tab in the “Ordering ” section.

When importing planning data from the ERP, the VMI module checks the current requirements and stock situation of all transferred material information. If a situation is detected in which the reorder level or safety stock level has been reached or fallen short of, the Onventis system informs both the supplier and the responsible buyer (from the purchasing group assigned to the material) of the stock situation.

In this way, it is possible to react actively to stock changes before critical states are reached.
