Purchasing & Inventory Control in SAP Business One

Optimise your vendor management to improve stock availability and margins

SAP Business One gives you the tools to take a systematic approach to vendor and inventory management; from quotation requests, to purchase ordering, to goods receipts and returns and finally AP processing.

Purchasing

The entire Procurement process from quotation / price requests to vendors through ordering and receiving goods and on to processing payments is managed in SAP Business One. And because the system is fully integrated there is a full audit trail of matching documents from one end of the process to the other.
