Module 03 / Purchasing
Buy with the numbers in front of you.
Suppliers, purchase orders and receiving sit next to current stock and open orders, so reordering is a decision rather than a guess.
01 / The problem
What goes wrong without it.
Reordering from a spreadsheet means buying too much of what sits still and too little of what sells. By the time the gap shows, the lead time has already been spent.
02 / Capabilities
What Purchasing does.
Each capability works from the same stock, order and supplier records as the other six modules.
Suppliers
Keep each supplier’s products, costs and contact details in one record.
Purchase orders
Raise, send and track purchase orders against supplier records.
Receiving
Receive full or partial deliveries into a location and update stock on arrival.

05 / Questions
Good questions.
Does purchasing use the same stock figures as sales?
Yes. Purchasing, inventory and orders are one system, so what you are about to buy sits next to what you hold and what you have sold.
How does receiving affect availability?
Received quantities raise on hand and available at that location immediately, so channels can sell them.
