The Materials Flow Throughout the System

Several modules interact to form the basic materials flow throughout the system. A simple outline of the steps involved in this interaction are as follows:

Requisition module - Create requisition (and perform any requisition authorization).

1. Requisition module - Enter Quote information (received from the vendor).
2. Orders module - Create an Order for the part (for example, a Purchase Order).
3. Receiving module - Receive the part (and perform any required Receiving Inspections).
4. Inventory module - Use the Inventory Transaction option to manage the part.

Please refer to the appropriate modules’ chapter for additional related information.
