Purchases
The Purchases management of Fluentis ERP is designed to support business operators in the rapid management of all documentation related to Supply Chain management.
Through the issuance of supply orders, which can occur in manual or automatic mode, it is possible to proceed with the procurement of goods aimed at production or warehouse management and the creation of all necessary documents for the supply process, including Purchase delivery note, Invoices, Purchase Requests, and Offer Requests.
The interconnection with the Logistics area ensures the update of stock levels and the generation of stock replenishment requests, while the integration with the Administration area facilitates the financial management of purchases, ensuring a smooth process and accurate recording of transactions.
The Purchasing area is also integrated with Planning through the generation of Purchase Requests (RDA) based on material requests necessary for production and with the Sales area thanks to the ability to generate supplier orders from customer orders.
