The material usage history and the order-based forecast graph presented in Inventory can help estimate the purchase needs. For more information, see information about the inventory graphic in Stock Management.
The material purchase can be based on purchase need. The order is created as a draft. First, the user selects the material supplier, then the need date and an order item for each purchased material article (plate or profile). Users can print a material quotation inquiry of the purchase order draft. When sending the order, the material purchase order document is printed and can be emailed to the supplier. The material purchases are made either in tn, pcs, or kg. The purchase price can also be given per tn, pcs, or kg.
