Purchasing

Purchasing is an optional feature than can be enabled if desired (disabled by default)

Recommendations

Recommendations is possible when the Inventory feature is enabled and used. An initial inventory is imported during Onboarding. When the inventory is maintained in Velosity the application is able to make recommendations when to purchase material. The leadtimes for the items in the Bill of Materials are saved with the Item.

Smart Quote automatically creates a Bill of Materials from the user's choices. This BOM is carried through to Sales Order (line item) and Production Orders. Velosity examines the Production Orders (PLANNED or RELEASED) and evaluates several criteria:

• Production Order start date
• Item quantity consumed on the production order
• Item leadtime

If Velosity determines that insuffient material will be on-hand when the production order start date arrives it will create a Purchasing recommendation. Purchase Orders can optionally be created in Velosity and sent to Suppliers. When the material arrives it can be received in the Inventory module which will increase the quantity to be greater than demand.
