Purchasing & Procurement
Purchase orders and replenishment aligned with time-phased demand and reorder points. One place for POs, receipts, and vendor data.
Problems solved
This module addresses common operational pain points in manufacturing and engineering:
- POs created ad hoc from spreadsheets or email with no link to demand
- Disconnected purchasing and inventory—no link between demand, BOMs, and what to buy
- Vendor and lead-time data scattered; receiving and inventory updates manual or delayed
- No single view of open POs, expected receipts, and net requirements
Core capabilities
PO creation from requirements and reorder points; demand-driven suggestions
Vendor management; lead times and lead-time offsets for MRP
Receiving against POs; lot codes and serials at receipt
Replenishment reports and bulk PO creation from shortages
Operational outcomes
Using this module, teams can expect:
- Reduce stockouts with demand-aligned purchasing
- Shorten planning time with one place for POs and receipts
- Reduce manual coordination between buying, receiving, and production
- Improve visibility into open POs and expected material

How it connects
Purchasing & Procurement works as part of the broader Esvos system:
- Demand and BOM rollup drive requirements
- Inventory and warehouse receiving complete the loop
- Work orders consume purchased and made parts
