Advanced Purchasing Software for Manufacturers

Managing purchasing in a manufacturing environment means knowing what materials are required, which suppliers can provide them, what they cost, and when they need to arrive.

MISys Advanced Purchasing is an optional module for MISys Manufacturing that connects material shortages, supplier pricing, purchase orders, and receiving activities to your manufacturing inventory.

Purchasing Based on Material Requirements

Turn manufacturing material needs into purchasing activity. Use material shortage information to identify what needs replenishing and generate purchase orders.

• Analyze material shortages and replenishment requirements
• Generate purchase orders from material shortages
• Review outstanding purchase orders
• Use purchasing schedules to support production requirements

Purchase Order Management

Manage orders from creation through receipt with flexible tools for purchasing teams.

• Create, print, email, and track formal purchase orders
• Copy previous orders to save time
• Create blanket orders with scheduled delivery dates
• Print internal approvals and multipage purchase orders
• Use preprinted forms or print on plain paper
• Email purchase orders with user-defined text and PDF attachments
• Expedite or close outstanding orders, including partially received orders

Supplier Pricing and Purchasing Costs

Evaluate supplier prices and additional purchasing costs before finalizing an order.

• Maintain supplier details and pricing levels
• Identify quantity-based price breaks from qualified suppliers

Receiving and Inventory Updates

Keep inventory current as purchased materials arrive, including partial deliveries.

• Receive purchased items individually or by exception
