Getting an item into a school takes someone noticing the need, a manager approving it, quotations being compared and the invoice being paid. Orion records that chain and shows who did what at every step.
Key capabilities
Purchase request
Permitted items are chosen by request type; the requester's department and justification are recorded.
Amount-based approval
Different approval steps apply depending on the amount; approval runs through CRM's shared approval chain.
Quotation collection
Quotations are gathered from several suppliers, compared item by item and a winner is chosen.
Orders and printing
The approved quotation becomes an order; the order form is printed and sent to the supplier.
Goods receipt and invoice
Incoming goods are received against the order; the purchase invoice and its payment link to Accounting.
Purchasing reports
Pending requests, order status and supplier performance are reported.
