FAQ

Your questions, answered.

How the system works, what you can configure and how to get started.

How do I get started?+

Select Start now to create your account. Explore the system specification, or use Proto to configure it for your business.

Does Procurement pay invoices?+

Procurement covers requests, sourcing, orders, amendments and receipts. The configured connection sends the approved order and receipt evidence to accounts payable, which owns invoice matching, adjudication and payment. Returned mismatches become work for the Buyer to resolve.

How are approvals configured?+

Rules use department, cost center, category, amount and tier to identify an eligible person. Department heads and budget owners come from maintained records; executive and committee tiers need explicit assignments. Submitted content is frozen, and the approval retains the policy and document scope reviewed. A change that exceeds that authority requires another decision.

Does every purchase order need a second approval?+

An eligible order can use a prior spend approval within its remaining amount and scope. Conversion does not erase that authority, and splitting a request does not multiply it. An RFQ award alone grants no approval to spend. Eligible hand-raised orders may use the configured Buyer limit; other orders and exceptions follow their required review.

Who can see supplier pricing?+

Access follows the role and record. Requester and Viewer roles cannot see protected contract prices or quoted totals. Approvers receive the information permitted for their assigned decisions without access to restricted contract-rate fields. An agent has the same access boundary as its configured role.

How does supplier comparison work?+

The Buyer collects responses against the same RFQ scope and compares the configured price, lead-time and quality measures. The quality input is based on accepted performance history; delivery performance is reported separately. The Buyer records the award reason, and the resulting order must still have valid spending authority.

Can we receive goods without a warehouse system?+

A Receiving Clerk can record dock receipts at locations without warehouse management. Requesters confirm eligible desk receipts for their own purchases. At managed locations, the warehouse connection supplies the agreed receipt evidence. Partial deliveries keep the remaining quantity visible, and a shipment notice alone does not prove receipt.

How do suppliers participate?+

During implementation, configure portal or EDI participation with each supplier. Supplier access is limited to its own permitted invitations, responses, orders and supporting records. Acknowledgments identify the order revision; qualification evidence waits for the assigned internal review.

Can an order change after it is sent?+

Use an amendment with a reason, the proposed revised order and the required approval. Review considers cumulative increases and the remaining agreement capacity, so repeated small changes cannot create unlimited additional commitment. The applied revision is retained for supplier acknowledgment and the finance connection.

What happens when a supplier is suspended or blocked?+

Suspension prevents new or increased commitments while allowing authorized fulfillment of previously issued orders. A block holds issue and fulfillment posting until the designated review resolves it; arrivals can still be recorded for quarantine or dispute. Controlled reductions, cancellations and returns retain their evidence. Configure and rehearse these paths before launch.

What determines the rollout schedule?+

Departments, policy complexity, supplier data, open orders and the finance and receiving connections determine the work. Agree the first launch scope after reviewing those inputs, then proceed when its rehearsal and migration reconciliation pass. Proto can prepare later changes for review; its model and machine usage are metered.

What does it cost?+

There is no per-user fee for ordinary manual work. Prepaid credits cover metered operations, with model and Proto charges described separately. Implementation is priced to the agreed scope. The pricing page contains the full rates and account terms.

Implementation

Build a purchasing rollout around your approval policy, supplier relationships and finance connections.

Read the implementation plan
  1. 01

    Agree the purchasing policy

    Map departments, cost centers, categories and named approval owners. Define contract and competition requirements, Buyer limits, price exceptions, cumulative amendment rules and agreement ceilings. Decide where each type of purchase is received and who owns the resulting inventory movement.

    Buyer
  2. 02

    Configure access and master data

    Set up roles, identities, sequences, approval rules and supplier qualification checks. Resolve circular user and department references in a staging import before activating the records. Load suppliers, items, agreements and rates with traceable source identifiers.

    Supplier
  3. 03

    Connect finance and receiving

    Verify order revisions, receipts, amendments and returned match exceptions in a test environment. Exercise duplicate delivery and recovery after interruption. Confirm that only the agreed system posts inventory and that the budgeting feed reflects the same commitment.

    Team and ERP.ai
  4. 04

    Rehearse everyday and exception paths

    Run a request through approval, sourcing, order issue and delivery. Include a standalone RFQ, a split conversion, an exhausted agreement, repeated small amendments, a price exception, an absent approver and a partial delivery. Test a supplier being suspended or blocked while work is open.

    Approver
  5. 05

    Reconcile open work

    Load the approved migration baseline with posting and outbound triggers disabled. Reconcile original orders, amendments, accepted receipts, returns and remaining commitment. Verify historical approval evidence; work without valid authority returns for review. Agree where in-flight invoices will continue to be matched.

    Team and ERP.ai
  6. 06

    Launch the first department

    Enable connections from agreed checkpoints after the process owner and finance reviewer accept the rehearsal and reconciled opening position. Assign support owners and a recovery plan before switching new purchasing into the application.

    Team and ERP.ai
  7. 07

    Extend with evidence

    Review approval delays, exceptions and supplier delivery before adding departments or integrations. Version policy changes and test them against representative purchases so existing decisions keep their history.

Pricing

The base account and ordinary manual work in ERP.AI's official interface are $0. Viewing, searching, creating, editing, approving, deleting and exporting records in that interface do not consume read or write credits. There is no per-user fee.

Machine work: external API-key requests, imports, workflows, agents and scheduled jobs. Successful external API-key reads and writes use the operation rates below. Starting a managed execution from the interface still starts that metered service.
