iPos Procurement Control

iPOS Procurement for SunSystems is a role based, end-to-end, browser procure-to-pay solution seamlessly integrated into the Infor SunSystems financial management system. iPOS Procurement drives down maverick purchasing, controls spend across the organisation, manages extensive approval delegation and workflow requirements and delivers comprehensive transparency and auditability to the purchasing function.

iPOS adheres to a best practice approach from raising requisitions through to approving invoices for payment with real-time integration to the underlying Infor SunSystems control data. Critical Infor SunSystems business rules such as T-codes/analysis dimension dependencies, supplier selection, budget approval and commitment accounting are fully intertwined with the iPOS purchasing transactions.

iPOS handles the combination of freeform item selection, internal catalogues and punch-out to external supplier catalogues in a seamless manner. This achieves the critical single source purchasing channel and makes it an easy and consistent application which is welcomed into the users’ daily lives.
