Compare committed purchases with received quantities
Sales and stock do not fully explain future availability. Purchasing teams need to find what was ordered from suppliers and what is recorded as received in the integrated data.
We add this perspective with procurement monitoring, connecting commercial and logistics references to available purchasing information.
What changes in daily work
- Find a purchase and its associated supplier.
- Compare recorded ordered and received quantities.
- Read supplier identities from your applications.
Features in detail
Procurement
Find the purchasing context
The purchase record shows its associated supplier, status and order lines. It remains scoped to the account and the purchasing data actually integrated.
Read ordered and received quantities
Lines display purchase quantities and recorded delivered quantities. They provide a basis for investigating partial receipts or discrepancies, while keeping imported information distinct from a physical inventory check.
API: share supplier reference data
GET /api/procurement/suppliers exposes a paginated list of suppliers in the authenticated account, with search by name. The CIAMA identifier, name, external reference and active state support matching in your application.
This route reads supplier data. It does not announce a generic purchase-order creation API or universal ERP connector. Purchase ingestion needs to be scoped to the integration. Explore available families in the CIAMA API documentation.
Clarify a supplier receipt
Before a procurement review, the buyer opens a supplier purchase order and compares ordered and recorded received quantities line by line. They identify references whose receipt needs clarification.
With logistics, they check whether the difference reflects a partial receipt or information still missing from the source system. They can then prepare the supplier discussion around the relevant lines.
This view complements warehouse availability and prepares the replenishment review. Procurement can understand purchases already committed before considering the next ones.
This edition looks back at CIAMA’s evolution. The month is an editorial milestone in the product story, not a production deployment date.
