Very often individual task specific components within the Purchase sector are applied isolated and not as coherent dataflow, starting from the quotation up to invoice verification process. This results in delays and inaccuracies especially at interfaces with other sectors, as well as work overload or overstaffing in certain work areas.
The subsystem FOSS Purchases considers functions of the purchase area as a single unit and thus avoids weak points. All working steps such as entry and maintenance of master data, transaction processing, as well as information and statistics processing are applied in an integrated manner. In this way standard processes of a purchase transaction starting from purchase order entry to incoming stock and invoice verification can be processed effectively and illustrated precisely. The modular structure enables a flexible adjustment to the company specific internal organization. Work in the dialogue mode enables rapid processing and immediate access to information.
