Engineering Procurement Software Key Features
Unrivaled Project Customization & Control
To accommodate the unique requirements of each Engineering project, Current SCM offers unrivaled project customizations, such as project-specific teams, roles & permissions, approved vendors, locations (e.g., bill to, destination, store at, fabricate at), budgets, milestones, currencies, tax structures, business rules, chain of orderables, workflows, bid evaluations, payment terms, contract terms, documents numbering rules, vendor evaluations, vendor diversity types, IncoTerms, release terms, inventory, reports, and much more!
Manage Multiple Paying Organizations
If your organization purchases or acts as an agent on behalf of other organizations, this is a game changer. Current SCM was designed with the flexibility to include multiple paying organizations.
- Each organization can have its own segregated team, cost structure, payment terms, contract templates, document numbering rules, business rules, workflows, catalog(s), approved vendors, inventory, reports and much more, all within a single instance.
- Orders can be issued with your clients’ information and logo, or with your organizations’ information and logo.
- If there is more than one paying organization, Orders can be issued from the joint venture to share the cost.
Two-Level Role-Based Access Control
Project visibility isn’t a given in Current SCM. Users must first be added to Teams. Each User can be added to multiple Teams. Each User can be assigned one or multiple Roles per Team, including different Roles and permissions per Team. Each User can also be assigned one or multiple custom permissions at the Team level.
Team members must then be added to specific Projects to access information related to those Projects. Each Team member can be added to multiple Projects. Each Team member can be assigned one or multiple Roles per Project, including different Roles and permissions per Project. Each Team member can also be assigned one or multiple custom permissions at the Project level.
Guide Purchasing of Technical Items with Centralized Procurement Catalog Management
When purchasing highly technical goods and services, it is in an organization’s best interest to put guidelines or controls in place. Current SCM’s highly flexible procurement-centric catalog toolset provides several options to help guide or control your purchasing.
- An example to help guide purchasing would be to create a structured catalog complete with well-defined descriptions, precise measurements & attributes, and detailed metadata to provide Buyers with the information they need to make the right purchase.
- An example to help control purchasing would be to create a business rule to limit purchasing only to Catalog Items that have been approved for use.
BOM’s at the Project level are mapped to the centralized catalog for flexibility on Order line item names while retaining the catalog control.
Integrated Vendor Document Requirements
With vendor document tracking uniquely integrated into the Order, Current SCM streamlines the standardization, creation, communication, and tracking of vendor documents.
- Vendor Document Requirements: Define specific vendor document requirements, including the document type, authentication requirements, submission format, and dynamic due date. Define vendor document requirements at the Order or Order item level.
- Order Document Export: Current SCM generates a complete Order document export, including paying organization branded Order, commercial terms, BOM (Bill of Materials), contractual terms, specs and standards, and vendor document requirements. Perfect for integration into you or your client’s EDMS.
Integrated Materials Management
Current SCM provides complete and flexible materials management support to efficiently manage material through planning, purchasing, tracking, expediting, inspecting, and receiving.
Leverage real-time inventory reporting by project, business, or location to ensure you are optimizing inventory and purchasing only what you require.
