What Purchase Order Management enables

From the purchase request to the payment, SEMS structures every supplier order to ensure compliance, budget control and complete traceability.

Multi-source creation

Generate an order from an approved purchase request, an awarded RFQ, a contract, a catalog or an authorized direct entry.

Structured information

Centralize supplier, items, prices, taxes, budget allocations, dates and delivery terms on every order.

All order types

Standard, blanket, open, recurring, contract-based, framework agreement or urgent order: each type has its own rules.

Automated approval workflows

Orders are routed to the right approvers based on their value, entity, category or risk level.

Budget control before commitment

Check budget availability, reserve the commitment and block overspending before the order is issued.

Supplier dispatch and confirmation

Send the order in a standardized format and track the acknowledgment of receipt and supplier confirmation.

Controlled changes and versions

Any change triggers a new approval workflow, with a complete version history retained.

3-Way Matching reconciliation

Automatically match order, receipt and invoice to secure every payment.
