In this 30-minute session, you will learn:
1) How ERP Procurement goes beyond ordering purchased parts for manufacturing as it controls direct, indirect and service parts.
2) How vendor information is maintained and used by ERP to help you control cost and evaluate vendor performance.
3) How procurement works hand in hand with MRP to make sure parts are available when and in the proper quantities needed.

4. Meet Our Speaker
David Bush
Senior Manufacturing Consultant,
Rootstock
• 30+ years of manufacturing and MRP/ERP
systems experience
• Previously at General Microcircuits,
Consona Corporation, Relevant Business
Systems, Inc
5. A Quick Recap
• Last 4 Webinars focused on specific
manufacturing issues:
– Part Numbers and BOMs define material side
of production
– Engineering typically defines both part
numbers and BOMs
– Revision and/or ECO’s make sure demands
are based on current configurations
– Shop Floor Control focuses on the
manufacturing side of production
– Work Centers and processes defined as used
during manufacturing steps
– Part Routings provide means for ERP to do
Capacity Planning
6. Moving to Procurement
• Procurement and Vendor Control support the
material side of manufacturing
– “Procurement’ is the act of purchasing parts for
production or other areas of the company
• Three types:
– Direct Parts used to manufacture items
• Coded as ‘Purchased’ when created in Engineering
• Planned by MRP
– Indirect Parts support manufacturing but not
called out on BOMs
• Might include lubricants, gloves, other shop-floor
supplies or office supplies
– ‘Service Items’, often paid by the hour, such as
copy machine repairs
7. Managing Vendors in the ERP System
• Vendor Control adds and maintains
vendor records
• Item/Vendor records link specific parts
to specific vendors.
• Historical Data provides means to do
vendor analysis
• Links to Accounts Payable allows ERP
to handle 3-way matching to ensure
the timely and accurate payment of
invoices.

9. Building the Procurement Database
• Parts are entered into the Engineering Item Master, but,
when purchased, have unique information to be entered
and maintained. This calls for a Purchased Item Master
record.
• Vendors require their own individual records to hold
information planners need to make good decisions.
• When parts are purchased from a vendor or vendors,
unique information about the item/vendor relationship
needs to be maintained.
– Pricing
– Units of Measure
– Lead Times
– Vendor Part Numbers
Let’s take a closer look at Rootstock objects to see how the
ERP system maintains this information.
10. Components of the Procurement Database
The Procurement Database has three
components
• The Vendor Master Records
• The Purchase Item Master Records
• The Item/Vendor Record
11. The Vendor Master
• Hold specific data identifying each vendor including Vendor Number,
Contact info, Currency, PO template, etc.
• Addresses are used to identify where invoices are paid and where items are
shipped from.
• Historical information indicates item purchased from this vendor and recent
POs.
12. The Purchase Item Master
• Holds data uniquely required for purchasing.
– Direct, Indirect and Service Items.
• Generic information not tied to any specific Vendor.
• Used by MRP to create accurate requisitions for direct items.
13. The Item/Vendor Record
The Item/Vendor record includes:
• Vendor’s unique part number.
• Vendor’s price
• Vendor’s unit of measure
14. Creating Purchase Orders
• Order Number unique to this PO, automatically generated.
• When vendor selected has item/vendor record on hand, their unique data automatically copied to PO line.
• Order Status lets buyer know exactly where the PO is. Has it been accepted by the vendor? Has it been received?
• Line button allows new item/vendor records to be created on the fly.
• Default information comes from several related records. Purchase Commodity Code, Vendor file, Item/Vendor record, etc., and can be overwritten as
needed.
Once the PO has been accepted by the Vendor, the receipt transaction can take place.
15. Performing the PO Receipt
• Receipt Data defaults from PO (date, quantity, location)
• May be overwritten as required (note quantity)
• Receipt becomes document used by Accounts Payable for 3-way match process
• Automatically updates PO line to reflect partial or full receipt.
We have taken a very high look at the procurement tools, but, hopefully, this has demonstrated
how ERP both collects data and then uses it to help buyers perform this task.

17. Where Do We Go From Here?
We’ve covered the manufacturing (material and labor) sides of ERP, and, today, the
Procurement function. Here’s what is coming:
• MRP
– Gathers supply and demand information to determine quantities and timing of needed
material.
– Creates suggested requisitions and work orders to satisfy demands.
• Work Orders.
– Typically created by MRP, work orders are SUPPLIES of manufactured items
(subassemblies and final assemblies) needed to satisfy customer requirements.
– Work Orders provide MRP and Capacity planning ‘demands’ on the system for materials
and shop floor capacity.
• Order Entry
– Feeds the ‘demand’ side of ERP
– Maintains customers, products, orders, etc.
• Inventory
– Maintains current balances of direct material
– Provides means to issue material as needed to work orders and subcontract purchase
orders.
And much more…..

This is the sixth webinar in our ERP101 webinar series. Our topic today is “Procurement – Link your Vendors and Purchased Parts via ERP.” Moving on to some housekeeping.Before we get started, I’d like to go over a few items so you know how to participate in today’s event. We've taken a screen shot of an example of the Attendee interface. You should see something that looks like this on your own computer desktop in the upper-right corner.

All attendees will be on mute throughout the presentation. You’ll have the opportunity to submit text questions to today’s presenter by typing your questions into the Questions pane of the control panel. You may send in your questions at any time during the presentation; we will collect these and address them during the Q&A session at the end of today’s presentation.
Now we’ll take a look at our upcoming schedule. Today we will be covering “Procurement – Link your Vendors and Purchased Parts via ERP.” The next webinar in the ERP 101 Webinar Series by Rootstock Software is scheduled for December 13th and will cover the topic “MRP – Step though an overview of this vital ERP subset.” Future webinar dates are to be announced.
ABOUT PRESENTER :I would now like to introduce our Presenter, David Bush, Senior Manufacturing Consultant at Rootstock Software.
David Bush has 30+ years of manufacturing and MRP/ERP systems experience. David was previously at General Microcircuits, Consona Corporation, and Relevant Business Systems.
David will now introduce us to our ERP 101 webinar “Procurement – Link your Vendors and Purchased Parts via ERP.”
Hi David…
Add builds
Q&A SCRIPT:Thank you David, that was impressive!
Before we go to your questions, just a quick reminder this webinar will be posted on our website at www.rootstock.com. And of course after the webinar if you have any further inquiries, please email us at marketing@rootstock.com.
We’ll now answer questions submitted during today’s presentation as well as take any new questions – And just a reminder, you can still submit questions through the Questions pane in your attendee control panel.
Our first question today is…..
1. How does the ERP system know which vendor to use when MRP creates requisitions?
2. Can you purchase different types of items (f/e, direct and indirect) on the same purchase order?
3. What makes indirect items different from direct items?
Before we end today’s webinar, I’d like to present a brief look ahead at the upcoming topics in our ERP 101 Webinar series.
Today we covered “Procurement – Link your Vendors and Purchased Parts via ERP .” The next webinar in the ERP 101 Webinar Series by Rootstock Software is scheduled for December 13th and will cover the topic “MRP – Step though an overview of this vital ERP subset.” Future webinar dates are to be announced.
Thank you for joining us today. We look forward to seeing you at our next webinar.
