What is SIX PurchaseFlow?
SIX PurchaseFlow is the purchasing part of SIX ERP. It connects purchase requests, supplier quotations, approvals, purchase orders and incoming deliveries in one controlled process. Purchasing, warehouse, manufacturing and finance teams share one view of what is required, what has been ordered, when it should arrive and what has actually been received.
Where do purchase requirements come from?
Purchase requirements can come from material shortages, production demand, stock replenishment and departmental requests. Each one becomes a structured purchase requirement that records what is needed, in what quantity, for which purpose and by when.
Can buyers see why an item is needed before ordering?
Yes. Purchasing needs can be linked with stock replenishment, manufacturing orders, internal requests or other operational demand, so buyers understand why each item is required before they place an order.
How does PurchaseFlow help avoid duplicate orders?
Before a new supplier commitment is created, you can review related purchasing needs together and check current stock, existing reservations, open purchase orders and expected receipts.
How are purchases approved?
Purchase requests and orders are routed through the required approval process before commitments are made. Requested quantities, estimated costs, responsible users and approval decisions stay visible before an order is issued.
How does PurchaseFlow compare supplier quotations?
Quotations are evaluated by price, quantity, delivery time, payment terms and other commercial conditions. You compare complete offers instead of choosing only on the lowest unit price, and the full sourcing decision stays visible and traceable.
What information is stored about suppliers?
Supplier records, contact details, offered products, commercial terms, quotations, agreed prices, delivery terms and purchasing history are kept in one place for buyers.
What does a purchase order contain?
Approved requirements and selected quotations are converted into structured purchase orders. Each order records the ordered items, prices, quantities, delivery dates, warehouses and commercial terms in one controlled document.
Can we track expected deliveries and late orders?
Yes. PurchaseFlow tracks supplier confirmations and planned delivery dates for every open purchase order. Warehouse, manufacturing and other affected teams can see what should arrive and when. Received quantities are separated from quantities that remain outstanding, so partial deliveries, shortages and late orders can be identified early.
How does goods receipt work?
Delivered items and quantities are compared with the approved purchase order. Accepted, damaged, rejected or pending quantities are recorded before the goods become available in warehouse inventory.
How does purchasing connect with inventory and finance?
Confirmed receipts transfer into SIX StockFlow, and purchasing information connects with supplier invoice control and financial processing. This preserves a complete record from the original requirement to the received goods and final cost.

Can SIX PurchaseFlow compare quotations from different suppliers?
Yes. Buyers can evaluate supplier offers using price, quantity, delivery time, payment terms and other commercial conditions. This helps the company select the most suitable overall offer instead of making decisions based only on the lowest unit price.
How does SIX PurchaseFlow help prevent shortages and late deliveries?
SIX PurchaseFlow connects purchasing demand with current inventory, reservations, expected receipts and manufacturing requirements. Buyers can monitor confirmed delivery dates, outstanding quantities, partial receipts and overdue orders before delays affect production, sales or service.
