Procurement Module
Documentation for suppliers, purchase requests, approvals, purchase orders, and inbound procurement workflows.
Exact functionalities
Supplier management, requisitions, approval routing, purchase order lifecycle, inbound coordination, and supplier performance measurement.
- Supplier-oriented workflows
- Purchase request and order support
- Approval structure
- Inbound procurement visibility
- Purchasing process control
Workflow blueprint
Requisition creation -> approval chain -> PO issuance -> supplier confirmation -> receiving and matching -> invoice settlement and vendor scoring.
- Capture Procurement transaction input and context
- Validate permissions and business policy
- Commit lifecycle transition with audit metadata
- Propagate updates to dependent modules
- Review exceptions and close operational cycle
Data model and records
Supplier, Requisition, RequisitionApproval, PurchaseOrder, PurchaseOrderLine, and SupplierScorecard.
- Supplier
- Requisition
- RequisitionApproval
- PurchaseOrder
- PurchaseOrderLine
- and SupplierScorecard
Controls and business rules
Approval thresholds should be policy-based, PO status transitions should be controlled, and receiving or billing mismatches should be explicitly flagged and tracked.
Define explicit and valid status transitions for Procurement
Require mandatory fields before high-impact actions
Block unauthorized overrides without approval evidence
Preserve immutable audit history on critical events
Apply idempotency and duplicate protection on write paths
Integrations
Consumes MRP signals, coordinates with Warehouse receipts, and synchronizes with Accounting payable processes.
