Inventory & procurement

Know what you have.
Know what you can use.

Connect purchasing, receiving, stock identity, quality status, and allocation. Give the next operation an accurate answer about material eligibility.

01

Keep the supplier connection.

Connect supplier identity, qualification, order, delivery, and required documents. Receiving begins with the relevant purchasing context already attached.

  • Suppliers & qualification
  • Purchase order references
  • Incoming documentation
02

Separate the material from its lots.

One material record can relate to many supplier and stock lots. Preserve the identity and disposition of each physical receipt rather than flattening every lot into a product total.

  • Material & grade records
  • Lots & containers
  • Receipt history
03

Make status operational.

Released, allocated, and held quantities answer different questions. Connect the next action to the status it requires, and show why an otherwise visible lot cannot be used.

  • On-hand versus available
  • Hold & disposition
  • Eligibility checks
04

Trace the movement to its purpose.

Retain the connection between the stock movement and the work that caused it. Follow a receipt into allocation or use without rebuilding its identity across separate logs.

  • Stock movements
  • Work-linked allocations
  • Material use context

Material identity, stock quantity, and quality context belong together. An on-hand total is not a promise that every lot is available for use.

The connection that matters

A quality decision changes material eligibility.

Keep the decision and its supporting evidence connected to the lot. Allocation then checks the resulting disposition instead of relying on a note someone must remember to read.
