Orders to suppliers

For distribution companies, but not only for them, important costs are related to stocks. Stocks of goods involve at least three main types of costs: the cost of the goods proper, the cost of depreciation, and the cost of storage/handling.

In terms of cost, ideally, a distribution company should deliver the goods directly from supplier to customer, without its own storage. Stocks also have the benefit of operability. An order from a customer can be met immediately from stock, which, most often, makes the difference between selling and not selling.

Through the procurement module, One ERP enables organisations to optimise supply by maintaining stocks (hence costs as well) at an optimal level.

One ERP suggests, according to rules set by the customer, daily, weekly or monthly orders of goods. Procurement rules shall take into consideration at least the following: minimum configured stocks, period of the year, previous sales, and short-term increase of sales.

One ERP generated orders of goods shall be reviewed by an operator and then sent to suppliers.

For efficiency reasons, One ERP enables follow-up of delivery terms and can compare the goods invoice with the order, reporting the differences between what was ordered and what has been actually delivered.
