OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Without clear purchasing controls, spending creeps up. Items are ordered without approval, invoices are paid without checking receipts and nobody can see what has been committed.

SAP Business One links the full purchasing cycle. Purchase requests capture needs, approval procedures enforce limits, purchase orders go to suppliers, goods receipts confirm delivery and supplier invoices are matched before payment.

Committed spend, supplier performance and open orders are visible at any time.

Webtel configures purchasing in SAP Business One around your process, using standard functionality first and add-ons or reports only where they add clear value. Your users test with real data before go-live, and we stay on hand as they start working in the new process.

FAQS

Common Questions

Can we set approval limits?+

Yes. Approval procedures can be set by document, amount, user or condition.

Can we compare supplier quotes?+

Does it support three-way matching?+

Yes. Supplier invoices can be based on goods receipts, so quantities and prices are checked.

Is this standard SAP Business One or an add-on?+

We use standard Business One functionality first. Where a requirement goes beyond the standard, we recommend a proven add-on or a small, documented extension.
