ERP software can be readily extended

"This new version combines information from multiple ERP solutions, giving organisations a single face to their suppliers which enables rapid demand fulfilment and performance evaluation".
SupplyWeb version 10 significantly strengthens the relationship between suppliers in the supply chain with the addition of new modules, Production Invoicing and Purchase Order Collaboration, which automate specific business functions related to order processing.
Production Invoicing improves data accuracy between customers and suppliers, eliminates discrepancies in pricing and payables and allows for more timely payments from the customer.
Customers can accept or reject invoices sent by their supplier, sending these approved invoices back to the ERP system for payment.
This improves the accuracy of payables and reduces the amount of time spent on manual activities such as entering faxed or emailed data.
Purchase Order Collaboration facilitates a purchase order negotiation process, allowing customers and suppliers to set terms before committing to an order.
As proposed Purchase Orders (PO) move through the process, customers and suppliers have complete visibility into their status via a colour-coded report that indicates orders awaiting action and those that are past due.
Configurable settings allow customers complete control over PO negotiation, scheduling, approval and fulfilment.
Additionally, SRM SupplyWeb version10 includes built-in functional enhancements such as the following.
* Supplier Cumulative Quality Management (CUM) - tracks demand fulfilment from schedule to schedule to accommodate out of order shipping and receiving.
* Flex Fields - expand business-specific data to include shippers, billing, work orders and problem reporting documents.
* Receipt Reconciliation - ties receipts to SupplyWeb Advanced Shipment Notices (ASN), ensuring shipments are properly moved to a 'received' status within SupplyWeb.
