Epicor Prophet 21 ERP Purchase Order Management

Purchase Order Management & Expediting for Epicor Prophet 21

 

Stop chasing purchase orders one at a time.

Which POs are overdue? Has the supplier confirmed the order? Did the expected ship date change? Where did someone record the latest update?

​

When those answers are spread across ERP screens, spreadsheets, and emails, buyers spend too much time finding information and updating the same details in several places.

​

We’ve built custom PO management tools around Prophet 21 that bring open purchase orders, confirmations, dates, and expediting notes into one place.

​

Review and update open POs in batches

One example is a custom PO Update Manager web portal. Buyers can filter open purchase orders, review the lines that need attention, and update selected information without opening each PO individually.

​

Depending on the project, that can include:

  • Supplier confirmation status.

  • Required dates, due dates, and expected ship dates.

  • Supplier shipping dates and shipment status.

  • Expediting notes and follow-up information.

  • Batch updates to selected purchase orders.

 

The fields, filters, access, and update rules are built around each customer’s requirements.

 

Build around the way your buyers work

Sometimes the need is a focused tool for updating dates and confirmations. Other times, the process needs supplier contacts, overdue reminders, split delivery dates, or notifications to the people waiting on the inventory.

​

We can help define those steps and connect them with your existing purchasing workflow.

​

The goal is straightforward: less time chasing information, clearer follow-up, and purchase order details your team can use.

 

Related purchasing and inventory work

PO management often connects with other challenges:

  • Identifying incoming inventory needed for customer orders or production.

  • Comparing expected receipts with promised dates.

  • Reviewing whether to purchase stock or transfer it from another location.

  • Supporting centralized purchasing and branch replenishment.

 

We can help with a specific part of that process or a workflow spanning several systems.

 

Built for your business

These are examples of custom projects, not a packaged product. We draw on previous work and reusable approaches, then adapt the solution to your systems, priorities, and business rules.

​

Running another ERP—or planning a platform change? The same purchasing problems can exist outside P21. We’ll review your environment and the available connection options before recommending an approach.

​

Bring us the steps your buyers keep repeating. Let’s see where we can help.

Fix. Build. Bridge.
Custom Solutions. Not Products.
