Getting started with Procurement

#How the module is organized

The core flow is Purchase Quotation/RFQ → Purchase Order → Purchase Invoice, with Purchase Return and Purchase Estimate covering reversals and informal pricing. Match Config and Match Results implement 3-way matching (PO / receipt / invoice) before an invoice is approved for payment. Supplier Scorecards and Blanket Agreements manage the vendor relationship itself.

#Where to start

1. RFQs (Rfqs) let multiple suppliers bid before a Purchase Order is raised — skip it for routine repeat purchases.
2. Blanket Agreements cover pre-negotiated long-term pricing so individual POs don’t need re-quoting.
3. Match Results shows why an invoice is blocked — check it before assuming an approval issue.
4. Advance Shipment Notices let a supplier tell you what’s coming before it physically arrives.
5. Opening Stock is a one-time setup transaction, not part of the regular purchase cycle.
