## What is included

- **Requisitions and approval limits:** Anyone can request; only the right people can approve. Limits by value, cost centre and category, with the approval trail attached to the order permanently.
- **Orders raised from demand:** Purchase orders generated from sales orders, works order shortages and lead-time-aware reorder points - rather than from somebody’s recollection of what is running low.
- **Three-way matching:** Purchase order, goods received note and supplier invoice matched automatically. Discrepancies in quantity or price are flagged before payment, not after.
- **Goods-in booking:** Receive against the order line by scanning, handle part-deliveries and over-deliveries, and record batch or serial numbers at the point of receipt.
- **Supplier performance:** On-time delivery, price variance, quality rejects and lead-time reliability measured per supplier - facts for the next negotiation instead of impressions.
- **Documents on the order:** Supplier quotations, certificates of conformity, delivery notes and correspondence attached to the purchase order they belong to.

## Real-world use cases

### Spend by email

**Scenario:** A services business had no purchase orders. Staff ordered by phone and email, and finance reconciled invoices against a mixture of memory and hope. Committed spend was invisible until the invoice landed.
**Outcome:** Requisitions with approval limits gave the first real view of committed spend. Two duplicate subscriptions and a supplier billing an out-of-date rate were found in the first month.

### Paying for goods that never arrived

**Scenario:** A manufacturer’s goods-in paperwork was filed separately from purchase orders. Part-deliveries were invoiced in full and paid in full, and nobody caught it.
**Outcome:** Three-way matching now blocks any invoice that does not reconcile to the order and the goods received note. Several historic short-deliveries were recovered as credits during the first quarter.

### Chronic expediting

**Scenario:** The buyer spent most of the week chasing suppliers because reorder points were set once, years earlier, and took no account of actual lead times.
**Outcome:** Lead-time-aware reorder suggestions and supplier reliability scoring shifted purchasing from reactive to planned, and identified two suppliers whose stated lead times were consistently fiction.

## Figures

- **3-way** Order, goods received and invoice matched
- **Before spend** Approval limits enforced at requisition
- **Measured** Supplier reliability, not supplier reputation

## Frequently asked questions

**Can we set different approval limits per department?**

Yes. Approval chains are configured by value, cost centre, category and requester, with escalation and delegation for holidays. The trail is stored against the order and cannot be edited afterwards.

**Does it post purchase invoices to our accounts package?**

Yes. Matched and approved purchase invoices sync to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, so your ledger stays authoritative for finance while the control happens upstream.

**Can suppliers send us electronic orders or invoices?**

Purchase orders can be emailed as PDF or sent via EDI where a supplier supports it. Invoice capture can be automated for suppliers who send structured data.

**What about one-off, non-stock purchases?**

Fully supported. Non-stock lines carry a description, a nominal code and a cost centre, and go through exactly the same requisition and approval process as stocked items.
