Purchasing & Procurement always adheres to this core flow inside the purchasing organization:

  1. Internal Order - Users are creating purchase requisitions (internal orders) to document demand inside the company. This can happen centrally through the Purchase Order Manager or decentrally through our ZUGSEIL Shop
  2. Internal Order Approval - Internal orders in some scenarios have to undergo approval process before they are handed over to purchasing (e.g. internal budgeting, material approval flows, ... )
  3. Purchasing Automation - The Purchasing Automation Engine creates preliminary purchase orders, with the goal to optimize the individual purchase order for best purchasing conditions (money & delivery speed)
  4. Purchase Order Pooling - Preliminary purchase orders can be pooled to aggregate them by specific rules for better purchasing conditions. The result of this step is the issuance of purchase orders.
  5. Purchase Order Approval - Finally the purchase order must be approved by internal parties (e.g. fiscal approval processes)
  6. Purchase Order Transmission - the trigger point of the P2P process, where the purchase orders are handed over to the suppliers.
