Key Capabilities of JDA® Procurement Management, powered by Manugistics®:
- Directly integrates strategic agreements into the purchasing process
- Automated end-to-end procurement life cycle planning
- Robust exception management capabilities
JDA Procurement Management allows organizations to handle various requisition and change order scenarios, whether manually created or generated from a material requirements planning (MRP) application. JDA Procurement Management can integrate to multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, allowing organizations to manage all procurement activities from a single application.
JDA Procurement Management captures strategic agreements with suppliers that not only define the specifics of the relationship, but also ensure that each purchase order is created with the correct terms and conditions. Strategic agreements capture relationship information such as price breaks, lot charges and payment terms. Directly integrating these agreements into the purchasing process enables the organization to decrease maverick buying and improve contract compliance. Workflow tools automate the end-to-end procurement life cycle by creating custom business process flows that incorporate the right individuals, giving both internal and external partners greater visibility into transaction events. As events occur, the solution immediately involves the relevant owner through process alerts.
