Scheduling with Control over Order Balance commercial governance and quantitative compliance for incoming goods.
Monitor and control purchase order quantities and volumes during scheduling. Prevent duplicate deliveries, overshipments, or invoicing errors before the truck even leaves the supplier.
Receiving goods outside contracted quantities leads to inflated inventory, administrative rework, and costly dockside returns. Don’t let a lack of balance control turn your yard into a manual sorting area and strain the alignment between Procurement and Logistics.
Line-item level order balance control.
Four centralized data pillars to maintain quantity compliance without relying on offline spreadsheets.
Automated Order Validation & Matching
Unify physical receiving with commercial procurement. Automate the import and matching of Invoices and Shipping Notices against Purchase Orders—applying customizable rules for delivery forecasts and shipping periods.
Strict Line-Item & Order Balance Control
Eliminate over-receiving at your docks. The platform monitors the remaining balance for each item (SKU) in real time, validating critical data such as UPC/EAN codes, HTS codes, ordered quantities, and unit price. The system automatically prevents suppliers from scheduling deliveries that exceed the remaining balance on the Purchase Order (PO).
Capacity Management & Open-to-Buy (OTB) Governance
Monitor physical dock capacity and financial inventory limits simultaneously. Cross-reference location scheduling constraints with category Open-to-Buy (OTB) controls, enabling you to cap inbound goods according to approved purchasing budgets for each period.
Line-Item & Invoice Receiving Analytics
Gain end-to-end analytical visibility for audits and vendor performance reviews. Generate consolidated Receiving Reports detailed down to the line-item level—tracking fulfillment lead times and identifying suppliers delivering within agreed SLAs and compliance terms.
