PurchaseDepartment requests and approvals

A department raises a goods and services request; the department head approves it, department-wise, and the store manager approves the issue. Material request, approval and issue are managed together.

If the stock is there it is issued; if not, a quote request is raised.

Step by step
  1. Inventory → Goods and Services Request / Status → Add New Request.
  2. Department head approves.
  3. Store manager approves; issue or quote request.

PurchaseQuotes and purchase orders

Quotes are prepared, captured, reviewed, approved and stored. The PO request goes through multi-level PO approval; the PO is prepared, reviewed against the quotation, released and its payment status tracked.

Quote approval statuses, quote types and PO types are configured in settings.

Step by step
  1. Prepare and capture quotes.
  2. Review and approve the quote.
  3. Purchase Order → Pending PO → Approve PO.
  4. Release the generated PO.

Receiving

ReceivingGate in, GRN, QC and stock update

Goods arrive at the gate: gate in, pre-check, then the GRN, cross-checked with the quotation (PO, gate in, pre-check, stock move, invoice). QC checks the received goods; rejected quantity is recorded and the approved quantity updates the stock.

Returnable and non-returnable items follow their own process.
