Purchasing

Purchasing with approval and a trail

The request, the approval, the order and the receipt are all recorded in attendo. You know who asked for what, who approved it and how it arrived.

The problem

Purchases approved, ordered and received, with a trail

Requests arrive by email without enough detail, approvals get lost and the order is placed in another tool. When the material arrives wrong, nobody can find who ordered it.

Processes you set up in attendo

  • Purchase requests through an internal form, with amount, cost center and approval by link
  • Supplier orders generated from the approved request, with their PDF by email
  • Material forecasting against stock and what is already on order, with a proposed order per supplier
  • Supplier qualification with a checklist and documents uploaded by the supplier itself
  • Receiving with a checklist by QR code: quantity, condition and photos, and anything that does not match opens an issue
  • Periodic supplier evaluation with a score calculated in the checklist

How it is set up

A typical process, step by step

With document types, flows and checklists you configure without code.

  1. Step 1

    Requested

    Whoever needs something fills in the internal form. The request comes in with its amount and cost center.

  2. Step 2

    Approved

    Business Process Flow (BPF) routes the request to the approver, who signs off from their phone, with a code and no login.

  3. Step 3

    Purchased

    The supplier order is generated from the approved request. The supplier receives the PDF by email.

  4. Step 4

    Received

    The warehouse scans the QR code and fills in the receiving checklist. If something is missing, an issue is opened with the supplier.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the supplier need a license?

No. They upload their documents through a magic-link form, with no password, or work from the supplier portal.

Does it know what needs buying next quarter?

If you track stock in attendo, yes. The forecast compares planned needs, stock and what is already on order, and proposes one order per supplier.

Does it connect to my ERP?

Yes, with native connectors for Holded, Odoo, SAP Business One and Business Central. Which purchasing documents are synced is agreed during implementation.
