In this chapter, we start getting into what could be considered the core functionality of most ERP systems. We will begin by setting up a vendor and then purchasing raw material components. After the products arrive, we will receive the products into inventory and pay the invoice to complete the purchasing cycle.
Topics we will cover in this chapter include:
- Examining a typical purchasing process for a business
- Setting up your vendors and warehouse locations
- Entering a quote and turning it into a purchase order
- Receiving products from your vendors
- Paying invoices
