5 Purchasing

This chapter discusses the Purchase Ordering function that controls procurement of stock for retail. Setup of buyers and Open to Buy limits are discussed as a precursor to order creation. Purchase Orders can be raised in RMS through various automated as well as manual means. Manual Orders may be raised for adhoc purchases, against contracts and from replenishment generated Buyer worksheets. Automated orders are largely generated by the replenishment batches. Purchase orders in RMS provide support for capture and view of several ordering related attributes such as shipping information, import attributes, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), expenses, letter of credit information, and partner information. Inventory Management parameters such as scaling, truck splitting, and supplier minimum, rounding percentages may also be defined and enforced at the order level. The ordering screens also provide usability enhancers such as diff distribution and pack templates to ease the process of order creation.

Screen details and specific navigation to achieve these functions is elaborated in this following sections of this chapter.

Set Up Buyers

The buyer functions allow you to create, edit, view, and delete buyers. You can record the name, phone number, and fax number for each buyer.

Buyers are responsible for maintaining store stock levels with merchandise that matches consumer demand.

Because there can be many buyers and merchandisers at the division or group level, you may prefer to record the GMM (general merchandise manager) or DMM (division merchandise manager) at these levels.

Maintain Open to Buy Amounts

Open to buy (OTB) budgets are usually maintained by an external planning system. OTB, purchase order, and stock ledger data are extracted from RMS. In return, the planning system provides up-to-date budget and forward limit data. OTB functionality operates on the retail (4-5-4) calendar.

OTB records are maintained at the subclass/week level. OTB is allotted to three purchasing categories:

  • Order of non-basic goods (N/B)

  • Buyer replenishment of basic goods (BRB)

  • Automatic replenishment of basic goods (ARB)

Within each category, monetary amounts are segregated by status. The statuses are Approved, Received, and Budgeted. Cancelled amounts are maintained outside of any category. Whether the amounts reflect cost value or retail value depends on the type of OTB calculation selected for each department.

As you create and edit departments in RMS, you must indicate whether direct cost or retail inventory amounts are used to calculate OTB.

When you create a purchase order, the OTB module monitors the available OTB. You, as the buyer, are warned if an order that you want to approve exceeds the amount budgeted for the OTB end-of-week date entered on the order. If you have sufficient authority, you may force the system to approve the order despite the warning.

Although purchasing budgets may be received from an external planning system, you can maintain the purchasing budgets online by subclass and purchasing category.

Forward limits may also be maintained online. A manager may limit how much of the OTB budget for a particular subclass and week may be used by the buyer. The manager may prevent buyers from committing too much of the available funds too early in the season, leaving no flexibility should conditions change or profitable opportunities arise unexpectedly.

Auto Generate Purchase Orders

Purchase orders may be automatically generated through several ways:

  • Replenishment: When inventory levels reach a point determined by the replenishment method assigned to an item, a purchase order can be created in Worksheet or Approved status.

  • Investment Buying: When the investment buy calculations indicate a benefit to the company by purchasing additional inventory, a purchase order can be created in Worksheet or Approved status.

  • Vendor managed inventory (VMI): If your supplier uses a VMI system, the supplier can create purchase orders in Worksheet or Approved status.

  • Truck splitting: When a purchase order is split into two purchase orders to accommodate truck splitting, a purchase order can be created in Worksheet status.

  • Warehouse Stocked/Cross Dock Docked Stock: Accumulates store need at the item/location level. If the need cannot be fulfilled by the warehouse, a worksheet PO is created.
