PURCHASING MODULE
Materials, services and equipment can be requested from all departments. These are maintained in purchase request forms. These forms are converted into purchase tenders.
Each purchase tender can have multiple request lines from different purchase requests. A tender is the medium of gathering offers from suppliers. These offers are evaluated and can be compared with each other via the following criteria but not limited to; pricing, payment plan, delivery date, and score of suppliers.
After a supplier tender is selected, it is then converted into a purchase order. All material, service and equipment transactions are later followed by the PO.

The processes of identifying potential suppliers, Supplier Evaluation, Supplier Quote Evaluation, awarding purchase order to the supplier, and billing processes are automated in this module.
