Multisource Procurement

Diversification of the supply network helps businesses be agile and respond to changes. One of the most common ways to diversify is to divide the supply of a specific product among different vendors by assigning a supply percentage to each of them.

This feature enables the system to automatically suggest a vendor for each Requisition worksheet line so that, over time, the specified percentages for each vendor are respected. You can assign demand order quantity to single vendor or split an existing Requisition worksheet line into several smaller orders.

FEATURES:

• Specify supply percentage splits among vendors and assign a policy to item.
• Maximum three vendors are supported by the policy.
• View current allocation statistics for actual purchases, target allocation and deviation.
• Define policy for specific location or common for all locations.
• Select from two options : Suggest Multi-vendor to order or Suggest Single vendor.
• Multi-vendor feature splits and replace an existing requisition line into several smaller order lines based on target allocation % assigned in policy.
• Single Vendor feature selects the vendor that will bring the total vendor allocations for the accumulation period closest to the target allocation. The system will select the vendor that results in the least deviation from the target allocation.
