Purchase orders & MRP purchasing
Order what the job needs.
Know when it lands.

Purchase orders for manufacturers and engineering firms that are raised from the job's own costing, tracked against the date they're required, and costed back to the job when the goods arrive.

Four reasons to buy.
One order for all of them.

Every line carries a purpose — a sales order, stock, a batch, an NCR or something else. So whatever you buy, the cost lands somewhere you can see it.

Raised from the job

Convert the quote to a sales order and every external cost becomes a purchase order, prefilled and ready to review and send.

Against a live job

Add a line to any sales order or works order, sub-works orders included, and its cost lands on that job.

To stock or a batch

Buy from an item's supplier list, at the supplier's own reference and cost, or open a new batch for it.

For anything else

Replacement parts against an NCR, or a free-type line for a one-off buy that isn't on any list.

Mixed purpose POs

Lines for different jobs, stock and one-off buys on a single order to a supplier, each with its own date required.

Any order still open past its date required turns red, and the Overdue counter says how many. You chase the supplier while there's still time to do something about it.

Get insights into your suppliers performance

Every received order records how many days early or late it arrived against the date required. Filter by supplier and you have their record.

From raised to received, on one record.

Every PO line knows which job it's for

Pick a supplier and their contact, payment terms and delivery address fill in. Then link each line to the sales order or works order it's for — or buy it to stock on the same order.

  • Each line carries its own date required
  • Deliver to your site, a customer, a supplier or another address — straight to a production site, or to the subcontractor doing the next operation
  • Unit conversion on every line, for buying in the supplier's packs and lengths

Emailed from the order.
Dated when it goes.

Send the purchase order to the supplier from the record itself, with a PDF preview before it goes. It moves to In Process, and the order keeps who sent it and when.

  • Date sent, date required and the supplier's latest delivery promise, side by side
  • Every added or removed line kept in the order's revision history
  • Attach drawings or specifications to the email as it goes

Purchase order tracking that puts what's late in red.

The dashboard holds every order you've raised. Live ones are black, overdue ones red, received ones grey, cancelled ones struck through — and every column totals at the foot.

  • Filter by date, supplier, purpose, value or status, and stack filters to narrow it down
  • Search by sales order, works order, stock batch, NCR or supplier invoice number
  • Choose the columns, download the view, or build it into a report

MRP purchasing:
the job tells Statii what to buy.

Convert the quote to a sales order and Statii orders the bought-in items the costing listed, flags any stock the job is short of, and follows each order back to the job when it lands.

Answers to common scheduling questions

What is MRP purchasing?

Buying from what your jobs actually need. In Statii, converting a quote to a sales order raises purchase orders for the bought-in items on its costing and flags any stock the job is short of, so purchasing starts from the job rather than from a guess.

Does Statii reorder stock automatically?

No. Stock shortfalls are flagged on the works order — pink until an order is raised, blue once it is. Statii raises purchase orders automatically for the external costs on a quote, and when you make stock of an item with external costs of its own.

Can purchase orders be raised against a job or project?

Yes. Every line links to the sales order or works order it's for, so one order to a supplier can carry lines for several jobs, stock and one-off buys. The dashboard can then be searched by sales order, works order or customer reference to show everything bought for it.

Can goods be delivered straight to site?

Yes. Each order can be delivered to your own premises, a customer, a supplier or another address — a production site, say, or a subcontractor doing the next operation.

Can we receive and match an order in parts?

Yes. Book in what's arrived and the rest stays open. When the supplier invoices, PI match the whole order or just part of a line's quantity, as many times as it takes.

Does it work with our accounts package?

Yes. Purchase orders sync with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks as soon as they're saved, and paid status comes back each day. Setup is covered on the accounts integration page.

What other manufacturers say about us

"

I can confidently say it has been a game-changer for us. It has allowed us to effectively track our day-to-day operations and achieve full traceability for our orders, which was instrumental in helping us secure ISO 9001 certification earlier this year.

We've found the Statii system to very adaptable to our requirements & it has massively improved our business controls from the multiple excel spreadsheets & manual methods that we used previously. I would definitely recommend Statii to any business that is looking to implement an MRP system.

Simple software that allows us to manage all orders, stock, suppliers and orders in one place. It easily manages shop floor jobs, goods in and pulls everything together.

Ashley

The biggest thing for me is the time that Statii now saves us, which means we can give enough time to focus on real issues that will allow us to grow our business to a level we have aspired towards for far too long, but literally never had the time. Having Statii means also I can see from any PC whats going on in the business, at anytime, again something not possible before.

FAQs

How do you automatically create purchase orders?

Statii allows two methods of generating PO’s. The first is by creating demand automatically to satisfy either a Sales order or an Inventory item. The second method allows the user to create a PO manually. However, the system forces the user to tie the cost to a Sales Order where relevant.

Can you set preferred supplier status?

Yes. You can assign preferred suppliers to inventory items which aren't make to order products.

Can you set minimum stock quantities?

You can set minimum stock levels to any bought in items. When they drop below the desired quantity users will be notified by the inventory indicators on the dashboard and a purchase order will be created to be send directly from the Statii MRP.
