Emma Purchasing Assistant

Purchase orders and the suppliers' order confirmations rarely match exactly, and delivery dates slip unnoticed until the shortage is already on the shop floor. Emma takes on the reconciliation: she checks every order confirmation against the purchase order, flags differences in price, date and quantity, and follows up with suppliers before a promised date passes.

What Emma takes on

  • Reconciles every incoming order confirmation against the matching purchase order.
  • Flags differences in price, delivery date and quantity.
  • Tracks promised delivery dates for each open purchase order.
  • Follows up with the supplier proactively as soon as a date approaches or passes.
  • Gives purchasing a clear daily list of open discrepancies.

What Emma needs from you

Emma starts with an export of open purchase orders from your ERP system and access to a mailbox that receives order confirmations.

The first few weeks

From day one, Emma reconciles incoming order confirmations against the open purchase orders and tracks the promised dates. Over the first few weeks it becomes clear which suppliers deviate regularly, and that sharpens when and how she follows up.

What changes

  • Discrepancies show up the same day, not when the goods arrive.
  • Late deliveries are followed up before they become a problem in production.
  • Purchasing gets an ordered list of open cases every day instead of assembling it from memory.
