Procurement process for a procurement specialist

Epicor ERP 10
1

Is anyone who is working with Epicor willing to share the practical way of how a procurement specialist should work?

I have kind managed to create working process for my teams, but seems that EPicor is really bad in material demands visibility. FOr this we have developed dashboards and BPMs that help it, but still there are some really fancy nuances that I do not see how EPicor even manages.

Very heading level procurement should work like this (start from part creation and assumption that demand is available):

  1. Update/create part details for procurement (MOQ, supplier, lead time etc)
  2. Update/create supplier
  3. Update/create supplier part price list
  4. Generate PO suggestions (automated or manual)
  5. Review suggestions and generate POs
  6. Adjust part settings to clean PO suggestion (batch sizes, min and max lots, days of supply etc)
  7. Update POs and close POs if needed
  8. Review supplier OTIF and PPM (Dashboards we created)

PS: we don’t use RFQs in Epicor.
