Turn purchasing requirements into organized supplier orders
Consolidated Material and Packaging requirements become supplier-specific Purchase Orders with quantities, costs, and an expected receipt date — ready to mark as Ordered and hand off to Receiving.
One Purchase Order per supplier, with ordered quantities, estimated costs, and order status.

A purchase list is only useful once it becomes real orders
Knowing what to buy is the first step. Without organized supplier orders, requirements can sit in a list while ordering happens by hand, supplier by supplier, with unclear costs and no clear status.
Requirements Without Orders
Knowing what to buy doesn't help if it stays a list of requirements.
Scattered Suppliers
Ordering supplier by supplier by hand is slow and error-prone.
Unclear Costs
Ordered quantities and expected costs may not be visible in one place.
No Order Status
It can be hard to tell what's been ordered and what's still a draft.
Supplier-specific Purchase Orders from your production plan
Purchase Planning consolidates Material and Packaging requirements by supplier, and a Purchase Order is generated for each supplier with ordered quantities, units, and estimated costs. Set an expected receipt date, mark the order as Ordered, and it becomes available to receive.
Each Purchase Order carries its source Production Plans or date range so the order stays connected to the production that created it.
