Purchasing
Purchasing normally controls the greatest expenditure that a company
has in its day to day operation. For this reason it is vital to enable
the purchasing officer to be more effective in sourcing materials
and services.
Aware provides all the information in a manner designed to make
purchasing decisions rapid and effective: thus managing this function
in a fraction of the time taken with other systems.
Supplier pricing tables are easily maintained based on purchasing
transactions or electronic download. A complete purchasing history
including pricing, delivery and quality is held by item from each
supplier. These can be analysed and presented for an Item or for a
supplier.
Replenishment requests are generated automatically by MRP, Sales
Orders, Work Orders or can be created manually. These are then available
for review by the purchasing officer. All available sources for each
item may be reviewed and a different supplier selected. Purchase orders
are then created and sent by e-mail, direct fax or printed.
Overseas orders can be consolidated into a Shipment and tracked.
Import costing provides rapid allocation of all costs associated with
a shipment including currency conversion. Receipting is by exception
and can be into QA for inspection prior to the stock becoming available,
directly into store or immediately against a work order.
For items having customer back-orders, an immediate allocation against
their back orders is performed and picking lists printed to enable
cross-docking.
