Project Procurement ERP for Procurement Managers

Buy only what the project lacks, when the schedule needs it.

ProjectVIEW ERP is not a purchasing tool beside the project. It is one integrated system where each request from site, yard or plant, each quotation and each order is linked to the BoQ or BoM item, the WBS need date and the cost code, and to the company's suppliers and accounts. The BoQ ↔ WBS ↔ Cost Codes structure weaves site, project and company data into one consistent record, with the integrity that ProjectVIEW AI needs to give reliable forecasts, alerts and answers.

Price escalation and supply disruption show early, and committed cost shows the moment an order is approved. Supplier and subcontractor performance is kept project after project, so every new purchase starts from a proven record.

What does a procurement manager do in a project-based company?

A procurement manager buys materials, equipment and services for many projects at once, so each arrives at the right time and price. In ProjectVIEW ERP, every item request from site, yard or plant is linked to the BoQ or BoM item, the WBS need date and the cost code, and so is every request for quotation and purchase order. Procurement therefore works from the schedule, combines demand across projects and shows committed cost the moment an order is placed. It works for construction sites, shipyards, offshore bases, mines and quarries, as well as project-based factories.

  • Plan purchases from the schedule: order on time, so material arrives by the date the work needs it.
  • Buy at the right price: then compare quotations, combine demand and control price escalation.
  • Keep cost visible: record committed cost when the order is approved, not when the invoice arrives.

How ProjectVIEW ERP supports procurement managers

01
What to buy, and when?
Need dates come from the WBS, and procurement then works backward to order and delivery dates. Procurement and Purchasing
02
Combine or split orders across projects?
Requests from several projects are grouped for economies of scale, while cost stays coded to each project. Procurement and Purchasing
03
Which supplier to choose?
Quotations are compared in one place, together with approval workflows and a full audit trail. Workflow engine (Core)
04
Buy, make or take from stock?
The buy-or-make comparison is shown together with stock levels across warehouses and sites. Materials & Production Management
05
Is the delivery on time and complete?
Goods receipts are checked against the order and the request, and then stock moves to the site, yard or plant warehouse. Materials & Production Management
06
Is the supplier invoice correct?
Invoices are matched with the order and the goods receipt before payment, and the cost moves from committed to actual. Accounting & Finance

FAQ

FAQ: Procurement Manager

Talk to our expert

Questions about your role or your industry? Talk to a subject-matter expert who implements ProjectVIEW ERP.

Can we start with procurement and warehouse only?

Yes, you can start with e-procurement and warehouse management and add other modules later. TERNA, for example, started with e-procurement and warehouse management.

Does it connect with our existing ERP for accounting and payments?

Yes, ProjectVIEW ERP runs standalone or next to SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Fusion.

How do we control price escalation on long contracts?

Price escalation and adjustment are handled against the contract as well as the BoQ or BoM items. In this way, recovery from the client and cost from the supplier are tracked together.

How do we know what we must buy from outside the project?

For each WBS activity, ProjectVIEW ERP compares the requirements with the materials in stock, the company’s own plant and crews, as well as resources available on other projects. Then only the shortfall becomes a purchase, hire or subcontract request, with its need date.

Which industries does this cover?

Construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, as well as project-based manufacturing. The same procurement logic also applies in each, whether the scope is a BoQ, a BoM or a work package.
