Purchasing

Factory Edge includes the full purchasing cycle, from Requests for Quotation (RFQs) to Accounts Payable.

As much as possible, steps in the cycle are automated. For example, with one mouse click, you can copy an RFQ to a PO, receive the materials that are on the PO, copy material receipts to a bill, or pay the bill.
