The Purchasing module facilitates the creation, maintenance and analysis of purchasing activities within your organization, such as the management of suppliers, and the procurement of goods and services. The module is defined and administered using Purchase Business Setup.

In the Item Master you can link suppliers with the items they supply and record associated information such as unit of purchase, lead time for individual items, contact details and codes for traceability.

Sun Purchasing Implementation Flow Chart PDF Print E-mail
User Rating: / 1
This is the list of the main system implementation steps required to successfully implemet SunSystems Purchasing. Depending on your system requirements some of the steps can be omitted.
1. Purchase Business Setup (PBS) - Gives you one online function to set up rules and controls for the whole purchase activity in your organization. You may need, for example, to set valid accounting periods or rules for budget checking.
2. Purchase Types Setup (PTS) - Allows you to define different types of purchase transactions used in your system. For example, you can define how a purchase order is processed, the stages it passes through, and the document formats it uses.
  2.a. Defining Stages for the Purchase Type - From the Action menu within Purchase Types Setup, select Purchase Stage.
  2.b. Defining Values for the Purchase Type - From the Action menu within Purchase Types Setup, select Purchase Value.
  2.c. Assigning Purchase Presets to the Purchase Type - From the Action menu within Purchase Types Setup, select Purchase Order Assign Preset.
3. Purchase Order Presets (POPS) -  are used to predefine some or all of the entries in a Purchase Type for purchase orders. They are intended to speed up the entry of a purchase transaction, particularly where the data entered is frequently repeated. It also allows you to automate data entry, and so improve accuracy.
4. Transaction References Setup (TRS) - Each type of transaction, for example, a purcahse order or a movement order, needs a unique reference number, which must be set up before the transaction can be processed. You can define the layout and content of transaction references depending on your requirements.
5. Approval Tables Setup (ATS) - Defines approval mechanisms for purchase transactions in your system. These can be set up to enforce approval at the order entry stage, the invoice entry stage, or both. These settings can specify Data Access Groups to have the authority to approve, for example, specific amounts, quantities, items, projects, or cost centres. You can also specify whether their approval limit applies to the value of an individual line, or to the whole order or invoice.
6. Ledger Interface (LIS) - is used to configure the journal transfer from SunSystems Order Fulfilment to SunSystems Financials. Different types of journal can be generated by Order Fulfilment and posted into Financials to reflect different Order Fulfilment transactions and processing stages.
7. Ledger Interface Account Recognition Codes (LIARC) - you to refer to an account code that has been entered elsewhere in a SunSystems module. These codes can be used on SunSystems Order Fulfilment transactions and in the Ledger Interface (LIS) to refer to the particular account.
8. Reason Codes Setup (RCS) - Reasons Codes are used throughout SunSystems to provide explanations. For example, why a Location is shown as locked, or why an order has been cancelled.
9. Unit of Measure Labels Setup (UOM)  - Units of Measure are units that are applied to items in order to quantify them. Units of Measure Labels describe these units. For example, bottles, cans, crates or pallets.
10. Formula Designer (FUD) - is a SunSystems Order Fulfilment application which allows you to create and maintain formulae referenced by value labels associated with order transaction lines.
11. Inspection Codes Setup (INC) - Inspection Codes are a means of attaching a set of simple inspection instructions to an item, which need to be completed at the goods receipt stage of the purchasing process. For example, if the item is clothing, an inspector may wish to check for finishes on seams and buttons
12. Value Labels Setup (VLS) - Value Labels are used to handle amounts in Order Fulfilment, such as quantities and prices, that need to be entered or calculated, stored and reported. They are used for calculations, reporting, approvals, Price Books and Landed Costs.

Value Labels are used to handle amounts in Order Fulfilment, such as quantities and prices, that need to be entered or calculated, stored and reported. They are used for calculations, reporting, approvals, Price Books and Landed Costs.
You must set up the Value Labels so that they are consistent throughout your Business Unit. If you report across Business Units, Value Labels must be consistent across the Business Units. For example, Gross Value or Net Value must be named the same.
You can have up to 50 Value Label Setups in one Business Unit at any one time, and each Movement, Sales and Purchase type can utilize up to 20 at any one time.
All Value Labels defined as currency values are automatically calculated and held in Base, Transaction and Reporting currencies, so you do not need to define different Value Labels for different currencies.

Formula Designer is a SunSystems Order Fulfilment application which allows you to create and maintain formulae referenced by value labels associated with order transaction lines. Formulae are referred to in Movement, Purchase, Sales and Quotation Definitions. All Movement Orders, Purchase Orders/Invoices and Sales Orders/Invoices and Quotations make use of a definition and at the time the relevant entry functions are used, formulae specified in the definitions are applied to the transactions.

A simple invoice has at least three variables, i.e. the quantity, the price, and a tax amount. The quantity is multiplied by the price, to give a net of tax value. Then tax is calculated and added to the net value to give the total invoice value. A definition is created with each variable specified as a value label; quantity, price, tax, net value and total value. Each value label may have a formula code specified, in this case one for net value and another for total value. The method by which each formula is then calculated is defined in Formula Designer.
