The procurement modules
Procurement covers everything you buy for a project — materials, plant, preliminaries, and subcontract work. It tracks what you have ordered, what has been delivered, what has been returned, and what you have been invoiced for.
How the modules connect
| Module | Code | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Orders | PO | Raise orders to suppliers for materials, prelims, or subcontract work |
| Delivery Notes | DN | Record goods delivered against a firmed Purchase Order |
| Goods Return Notes | GRN | Record goods returned to the supplier |
| Invoice Checking | IC | Verify supplier Invoices against Purchase Orders and deliveries |
| Credit Notes | CN | Track credits received from suppliers |
| Direct Costs | DC | Record project costs that are not tied to a Purchase Order |
The typical procurement flow is: Purchase Orders → Delivery Notes → Invoice Checking.
Goods return notes and Credit Notes handle exceptions. Direct costs capture one-off expenses.
Delivery Notes, Goods Return Notes, and Invoice Checking are grouped by their parent Purchase Order in the list view, giving you a clear picture of each order's fulfilment status.
