Purchasing management
Control the purchase order lifecycle from demand through warehouse receipt — supplier evaluation, sales-driven demand planning, and multi-level approvals. Turn "what to buy, how much, and where" from intuition into data.
Buying on instinct: no clear view of what to restock, how much is enough, or which supplier is truly cheapest. Excess stock ties up cash; stockouts cost revenue — and nobody has the numbers to answer why.
Demand Plan calculates buy requirements from real sales, allocates suppliers, bulk-creates POs, and reconciles receipts automatically.
Core capabilities
Turn "what to buy, how much, from whom" from guesswork into data — Demand Plan runs on actual sales and supplier constraints.
Demand plan
Rolls up sales, current stock, and supplier lead times → suggests SKUs to buy, quantities, and preferred vendors. One click to generate POs in bulk.
Supplier management
Vendor directory with transaction history, quality ratings, and average lead time. Assign multiple suppliers per SKU to compare pricing and allocation.
Purchase order lifecycle
Create → Approve → Receive → Reconcile. Multi-step approval (warehouse manager → finance). Partial receipts with variance matching between PO and goods received.
Inbound cost analytics
Track purchase price over time and spot spikes. Landed cost: product price + freight + import duties + fees → true inbound cost per SKU.
Detailed features
The full purchasing journey — from planning through receipt and cost reconciliation.
Demand plan
Buy at the right time, in the right quantity, from the right supplier — no more guessing.
- Roll up sales by period, current stock, and safety stock
- Auto quantity to order = (forecast demand + safety stock) − on hand − on order
- Allocate across multiple suppliers by ratio or best-price priority
- One-click bulk PO creation for every affected supplier
Supplier management
See who is reliable, who is cheapest, and how long delivery really takes.
- Vendor directory: contacts, tax ID (MST), contracts, payment terms
- Multiple suppliers per SKU — compare price and lead time
- History and scorecards: on-time delivery rate, defect rate
Purchase order lifecycle
From PO creation to receipt — every step approved and traceable.
- Multi-level approval: warehouse → finance → director sign-off
- Partial receipt: e.g. PO 100 units, receive 60 first — PO stays open
- Match variances between PO lines and goods receipts
- Full audit trail: who created, approved, received, and when
Inbound cost analytics
Not just purchase price — the full cost to land goods in the warehouse.
- Purchase price trends: catch sudden supplier increases
- Landed cost: product + freight + import duty + other fees
- True inbound cost per SKU → accurate margin analysis

Fits every buying model
From multi-branch retail to international imports — Purchasing adapts to your supply chain.
Multi-store retail chains
Each store has different needs. Demand Plan aggregates sales across branches, computes total buy requirements → allocates POs to suppliers. Goods hit the DC first, then internal transfers feed each store.
Multiple suppliers for one SKU
Product A is available from three vendors: lowest price but 14-day lead time vs. 3-day delivery at 10% higher cost. Demand Plan auto-allocates by your strategy — price, speed, or quality.
Imports & landed cost
Imported goods include international freight, import duties, and customs fees. Landed cost gives true per-SKU cost — for pricing and margin accuracy.
Why choose Oviro Purchasing?
Oviro Purchasing connects directly to PIM (products), WMS (inventory), and Analytics (sales) — so demand planning uses live data. Most ERPs in Vietnam stop at basic PO entry, without demand analytics or structured supplier evaluation.
Buy on data — not gut feel
Demand Plan calculates what to buy from real sales, allocates suppliers, runs multi-level approvals, and reconciles receipts — one closed-loop process.
