Supply Chain Management
Optimize your supply chains and defy global crises
ERP systems with their digital procurement processes offer enormous potential for automation and give your purchasing scope for modern supply chain management. The system takes over the routine tasks such as disposition, order processing, invoice verification and immediately draws your attention to any discrepancies. Especially in times of disrupted supply chains, this gives your purchasing time and energy for the essential issues: counteracting the effects of delivery delays as sustainably as possible.
Procurement management simply and automatically: from scheduling to supplier invoices
In addition, you can with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Network your delivery processes with your business partners: Inquiries, orders as well as your deliveries can be transmitted digitally via the respective communication methods. You receive offers, order confirmations, shipping notifications and invoices directly in the system. Here, too, the system helps with automatic processes and immediately shows deviations, for example from delivery dates. Thanks to the workflow controls, the information also comes directly to the "virtual" desk of the responsible employee.

The heart of merchandise management: material requirements planning - disposition
- Disposition of merchandise from sales orders
- Material requirements planning for production orders by BOM explosion
- Automated calculation of order times and quantities
- Consideration of stocks such as minimum & safety stocks
- Consideration of delivery times, alternative suppliers and items
- Calculation of delivery dates for sales orders
It all started with scheduling: What was a revolution in the 1970s is still the heartbeat of every ERP system today: Which (BOM) items are required for which order and in what quantity and when do they have to be delivered based on the delivery times be ordered from the respective suppliers?
Due to the changes in the world markets, material planning is more challenging than ever: minimum or safety stocks must be able to be adjusted flexibly, alternative suppliers must be included in the material requirements planning just like alternative items, so that delivery dates can be met or, in case of doubt, postponed.
Supplier management – who supplies what at what price
Since global supply chains have lost their reliability, price is no longer at the top of supplier ratings. Unrestricted delivery routes already ensure delivery times today - not only to you, but also to your customers.
The cheapest is no longer the cheapest supplier, but the one who is worth the price. With integrated digital supplier management, you can even reevaluate your suppliers on a daily basis if in doubt.
In our KUMAVISION app Vendor rating management we have expanded the standard functionalities by some essential functionalities: Using an individual points system with qualitative and quantitative evaluation criteria, you can perfect the supplier evaluation according to your own standards, carry out audits and can even evaluate your outsourcing (extended workbench).
