Description of the Software
The program "Purchasing Assistant" is designed for automation of the accounting of your procurements. You may use the software for both your enterprise and personally. It is of special interest for those who often make purchases, has many different purchase items and works with a large number of suppliers.

In the software, you can easily add purchases. Each purchase has such fields as: status, order channel, type, etc. A purchase contains detailed information about the supplier and the supplier’s contact person, as well as much additional information, such as, for example, the method of payment, type of delivery, discount.

When adding order items, the price of an item will be automatically saved in the prices catalogue of the selected supplier. The software provides flexible comparison of prices of different suppliers. The prices of suppliers can be saved in the prices catalogue directly, omitting purchases, and may be deleted or changed at any time.

The software can store detailed information about items. Items are divided into categories and sub-categories. For any selected item you can see all purchases in which it is present, all suppliers and their prices.

Suppliers

You can add methods of delivery and payment offered by a supplier, as well as available discounts. The system allows adding documents. The files are supported in any format and can be added into the software using the Drag And Drop function. The information about a supplier (the same as about items) can be added directly when creating an order.  

Use of Purchases
