Efficient and sensible buying against pre-set budgets or orders holds the key to many a profitable business. SIRONA provides the user with this critically important ability to optimise their inventory against customer service levels.

The SIRONA purchase order processing module is an easy to use yet comprehensive part of the total SIRONA supply chain management system.

It enables the user to optimise their buying in a number of different ways. For example, it allows user-defined purchase details to be held against individual products. In this case the system can generate a purchase order automatically, calculating the product requirements from the details on each product. Manual override of the purchase quantities is available and the user can review or amend the purchase order prior to confirmation.

The SIRONA purchase order processing module enables the user to manage the whole buying process in the most efficient manner. Making sure that the correct product is bought from the best possible supplier at the best possible price.

The system automatically checks that:
· The correct product is ordered
· Quantities received match the order
· Price charged is as per order
In all cases the user has full control over the progression of each purchase order from inception through each critical stage to booking the goods into the warehouse.

Subject to order frequency, stock levels and previous sales history, the SIRONA system can automatically generate purchase orders or requests. Once a purchase order has been raised, the on-order stock balances are updated so that other users of the system know what is due to arrive and when.
This important feature helps to reduce lost sales and enables customers to be provided with accurate and up to date information regarding anticipated deliveries / back orders.

When goods arrive they can be quickly and easily booked into stock with the actual quantities received checked against the supplier's delivery note. The suppliers invoice is registered in the purchase ledger when it arrives, but normally is only authorised once the SIRONA system has verified that the supplier's invoice matches the purchase order and actual goods delivered.

Speed, accuracy and ease of use are the three basic criteria around which all SIRONA software modules are designed and written.
