Best NetSuite Procurement Features
Save resources with easy-to-use automation capabilities, reduce costs by channeling purchases to approved suppliers and pre-negotiated contracts, and improve visibility via real-time insights into company spending and vendor performance.
NetSuite’s sourcing management capabilities help you select vendors that are able to supply the quality of goods you expect at the price you need to maximize profits. This simplifies the process, ensuring all vendors receive the same information and submit their quotes. Once selected, NetSuite Supply Chain Management centrally manages all communications with vendors, ensuring a clear exchange of information and avoiding costly mistakes.
The invoice processing capabilities in NetSuite help companies maintain positive vendor relationships by automating the receipt of ordered items, processing invoices, and remitting payments in a timely manner. After you enter a purchase order into the system and enter the purchase order number, NetSuite performs a three-way match between documents to ensure all data is accurate. Once approved, the accounts payable department determines which bills to pay and at what intervals to optimize cash flow.
With NetSuite vendor management, all information related to each vendor is located within a central record. This makes it easy for purchasing managers to access relevant data and keep supply chains on track. Providing vendors with an online portal to collaborate, communicate and stay connected is a great way to increase efficiencies and reduce back-and-forth via email. Vendor scorecards track supplier performance and help keep costs down and quality up.
Using NetSuite’s purchase management functionality delivers cross-functional benefits by simplifying the process of placing, managing, and expediting purchase orders. Companies can track PO activity in real time and know what’s on order and in what quantities–key for optimizing inventory levels. Vendors have access to their accounts through a vendor portal, allowing them to track all their purchase orders.
