Inventory Integration

When Inventory is enabled:

  • products can be selected on requisitions, POs, and invoices
  • goods receipts update stock at the selected location
  • batch and serial tracking rules are enforced during receipt
  • direct stock invoice lines can preserve product linkage for Accounting/Inventory receiving behavior

Accounting Integration

When Accounting is enabled:

  • tax groups can be applied to PO and supplier invoice lines
  • matched supplier invoices can become Accounting bills
  • AP, VAT input, WHT payable, purchase discounts, GRNI, inventory, and expense mappings drive posting behavior
  • payments are recorded in Accounting
  • Procurement shows handoff status and Accounting bill links

Core Integration

Core provides business users, permissions, role templates, and approval-routing identities.

CRM customer-demand sourcing

CRM Deals and draft Estimates can create customer-demand requisitions when the actor can access both workspaces. Stable source-line keys prevent active sourcing quantities from exceeding the unsourced CRM quantity. Partial sourcing is supported.

After supplier-award approval, Procurement returns a reviewed cost suggestion containing supplier cost, sourcing currency, FX snapshot, lead time, current selling price, and projected margin. CRM never changes a customer's price automatically; only an authorised user may apply the suggestion to a draft quote, and issued quotes require a revision.

Troubleshooting

Issue What to Check
Procurement menu item is missing Confirm the business has the Procurement module and the user has relevant permissions
Feature page is missing Confirm the feature flag is enabled for requisitions, RFQ, approvals, agreements, change orders, portal, supplier invoices, matching, analytics, or landed costs
Supplier cannot access portal Confirm the RFQ has not been awarded or cancelled, the supplier invitation exists, and the token has not expired
PO cannot be edited Only Draft and Rejected POs are editable
User cannot approve a PO Confirm the user is assigned to the current step and has approval permission. Staff cannot approve a PO they submitted; an assigned owner can use the audited owner override
RFQ offer says Not comparable Check requisition linkage, quote/requisition lines, quantities, estimate values, and currency
RFQ award did not create a PO Check for Award approval pending; the PO is created only after the selected offer is approved
Reminder button is unavailable Confirm the approval is pending, you initiated it or manage Procurement approvals, and you have procurement.approvals.remind
Reminder is on cooldown Wait until four configured business hours have elapsed since the previous reminder
Automatic escalation did not run Check the policy-step automation switch, eligible target, business calendar, Horizon automations queue, and SLA audit command
Receipt quantity is rejected Quantity cannot exceed remaining PO quantity; check prior receipts
Batch or serial receipt fails Confirm the Inventory product tracking settings and enter required batch/serial values
Supplier invoice supplier mismatch The selected supplier must match the linked PO supplier
PO or GR line mismatch Invoice lines must link to PO and receipt lines in the same document chain
Invoice overbilling is blocked Check previous non-cancelled invoices for the same PO or goods receipt line
Matching creates exceptions or holds Review unit price, quantity, receipt link, tolerance settings, and auto-hold configuration
Accounting handoff says Review required Review the account preview and GRNI variance message; receipt-linked stock value must match received value within 0.01
Accounting handoff says Failed Review the sync error, chart mappings, and Accounting bill permissions/configuration
Missing or wrong account mapping Open Procurement Settings -> Accounting Integration and fix account type: GRNI/AP/WHT are liabilities, inventory is asset, purchase expense is expense
Standalone settlement button is unavailable Accounting may be enabled, invoice may be unmatched, cancelled, or already fully settled

For unresolved issues, capture the document number, supplier, status, error text, and the route/page where the issue occurred before escalating.
