Procurement Schedule: Every Purchase as a Chain
See every purchase from requisition to arrival as one chain, on a Gantt timeline, a tree or one row per chain, with overdue and at-risk counts.
One Chain per Purchase
The new Procurement Schedule shows each purchase as a chain: the requisition and every request for quotation, vendor quotation, purchase order, goods receipt and arrival journal that followed it. Each document shows the step it has reached, such as Ready to Source, Quoting 1/2, Confirmed or Receiving, so the next action is never a guess.
Three Ways to Look at It
- Gantt: the year's documents on a timeline.
- Chain: each open chain as a tree, with due date, fulfillment and amount.
- Rows: one row per chain, one column per document type.
What Needs Attention
Counters above the tables show open chains, chains awaiting your action, overdue chains and chains due within a week. Award comparison can now set the allocation mode, entire item, quantity or percentage, for many lines at once, with a default for each scenario.
