The business problem

A purchase becomes a receipt, supplier invoice, inventory cost, payable and cash movement. Separate records leave finance reconstructing that chain at close. A useful ERP evaluation tests how exceptions cross those boundaries.

The connected workflow

  1. Record a purchase order and a partial receipt, preserving quantities and supplier context.
  2. Review price or quantity differences, matching and landed cost before resolving the invoice.
  3. Trace inventory, supplier obligations and the ledger into a management report; examine payroll posting and asset depreciation where relevant.

Where the KIVU team helps

The team can help map the process, prepare agreed data, configure workflows, train users and build relevant reports. Migration, cleanup, integrations and ongoing responsibilities are scoped before work starts.

What to validate in a pilot

Measure unresolved receipt/invoice differences, time spent tracing a purchase and reconciliation effort at period end. Confirm production planning or shop-floor requirements separately.

Record the baseline first. Compare time spent, unresolved exceptions and reconciliation differences using the same transaction sample. Validate results before making a savings claim.

Requirements to confirm

Confirm permissions, accounting mappings, transaction volumes, entity structure, local requirements and specialist systems in a representative demonstration. KIVU does not remove every external service or industry-specific requirement.
