NetSuite makes it easier than ever to create, update and manage all of your purchase, transfer and work orders

Considering supply chain management as a whole, executing your plan is probably the most important phase and, in a global economy, it can also be the most complex. When your manufacturing can take place on any continent and across multiple time zones you need a simple but effective way to communicate with your distributors, partners, suppliers and contract manufacturers to make sure they know what you want and you know what they are intending on delivering.


Features

Purchase Order Management

Creating and managing vendors, purchase orders, receipts and all other relevant transactions is one of the simplest, yet comprehensive aspects of the system. Vendors can be established and shared across all subsidiaries in your system to get a truly global view of your relationship. The order items screen is the main place a user will go to monitor the list of orders that needs to be placed whether they are generated as a result of the supply planning process, blanket POs or reacting to re-order point parameters. In all cases if there is a purchasing contract in place that pricing will be automatically applied.
