Optimizing the Purchase Module: A Guide for the Corrugation Industry

In the manufacturing sector, particularly the corrugation and paper industry, the Purchase Department is the most critical cost center. Managing thousands of tons of paper reels requires more than just manual entries; it requires a systematic, digital workflow.

The Finsys ERP Purchase Module is designed to transform these manual processes into a high-precision digital engine.

1. The Power of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) – Purchase Module ERP for Corrugation Industry

A common challenge for factory managers is knowing exactly what to buy and when.

• Automated Calculations: Finsys ERP uses an MRP system that analyzes sales, production, and marketing data to calculate exact purchase quantities.

• Error Reduction: By relying on system-generated data instead of oral instructions, companies eliminate human error in quantity and specification.

2. Bulk PO vs. Individual Orders – Purchase Module ERP for Corrugation Industry

Paper industry procurement often follows two distinct paths:

• Bulk Purchase Orders: Establish large contracts with paper mills based on specific GSM, Width, and Burst Factor (BF). These help lock in rates and ensure long-term supply.

• Specific Orders: Generated for unique job cards or immediate shop-floor requirements.

3. Full-Proof Buying: The Workflow

To ensure accuracy, the Finsys Purchase Module follows a strict, system-driven SOP:

1. Approved Vendor List: Restrict buying to verified vendors to control quality and price.

2. Purchase Requisition (PR): Departments submit digital requests, which record the user ID and timestamp for total accountability.

3. Automated PO Generation: Rates are automatically fetched from pre-approved lists. This prevents unauthorized price hikes and “bill-booking” errors.

4. Multi-Level Approval: Senior management can review and approve Purchase Orders digitally before they reach the vendor. Purchase Module ERP for Corrugation Industry
