Purchasing
Purchase order automation with approval and evidence.
Neumas turns approved procurement recommendations into durable purchase-order lifecycle records while preserving policy, approval, supplier, pricing, and delivery evidence.
1. Lifecycle states
Purchase orders can move through draft, pending approval, approved, dispatch queued, sent, acknowledged, confirmed, received, cancelled, or failed states.
2. Commercial snapshot
POs preserve supplier, location, currency, pricing snapshot, expected delivery, decision reference, approval reference, external reference, and immutable commercial details.
3. Acknowledgements and changes
Supplier acknowledgements can record accepted, rejected, quantity changed, price changed, delivery changed, or substitution outcomes. Changes outside policy become exceptions or approvals.
Frequently asked questions
- What does autonomous procurement mean in Neumas?
- It means Neumas observes demand and inventory evidence, recommends purchasing actions, evaluates policy, routes approvals, creates traceable actions, and verifies outcomes. External supplier execution is only enabled through real provider adapters.
- How is Neumas different from inventory software?
- Inventory software tracks stock. Neumas connects stock to recipes, demand forecasts, supplier offers, purchase orders, receiving, invoices, policy, and margin outcomes.
- How does Neumas control food cost?
- Neumas calculates theoretical food cost, tracks supplier and invoice variance, records waste, reconciles purchases, and attributes margin leakage only where evidence exists.
