BusinessIntents by role

Coordinate purchasing, fulfilment, stores, inventory, projects, services, and cross-team handoffs.

Buyers, storekeepers, project managers, and support agents work on shared products, suppliers, and stores, and every stock movement goes through a controlled document.

Purchase orders, goods documents, and stocktakes are approved before they change anything, and stock is valued at moving average cost across the company.

Operations in BusinessIntents

Move goods, work, and requests through documents that post once.

Stock changes only through goods receipts, issues, transfers, returns, stocktakes, and adjustments. Draft goods documents wait for the Approver group to post them, a stocktake computes the variance for you, and every movement feeds stock on hand, stock value, and cost of sales.

Handoffs

Where operations work comes from and where it goes.

Operations turns sales and purchasing decisions into physical movements and billable work.

01

From sales

A confirmed sales order becomes a goods issue; once it is posted, the delivery note is one click away.

See the handoff
02

To accounts payable

The supplier bills the delivered goods, and accounts payable registers and approves the purchase invoice.

See the handoff
03

To billing

Approved project timesheets generate a draft sales invoice at each employee's billable amount.

Roles and approvals

The operations roles and what each one does.

Group names are those shipped with the product. One person can hold several groups; your administrator decides who belongs to each.

Buyer

Raises RFQs and purchase orders, records supplier quotes, and sees their own requests for quotation in the Personal workspace.

Storekeeper

Creates goods receipts, issues, transfers, returns, and stocktakes, and records immediate adjustments for damage, loss, found stock, or waste.

Approver

Confirms purchase orders and posts goods documents and stocktakes; posting is the step that changes stock.

Manager

Reads stock value and cost of sales for the whole company.

Project manager

Plans projects, assigns people with billing rates, and invoices approved timesheets.

Support agent

Members of the Agent group claim, work, and resolve tickets; without the group a user can read tickets but not claim them.

Module references, replenishment, and commercial terms for operations teams.

Decision-stage questions

Common operations questions.

Which BusinessIntents areas are relevant to operations teams?

RFQs and supplier quotes, purchase orders, suppliers, stores, inventory documents and adjustments, products and units of measure, delivery notes, projects, and service tickets.

Can stock go negative?

By default negative stock is allowed so that work is not blocked, and it can be switched to blocked for your deployment. Corrections are never blocked.

How is stock valued?

At moving average cost, calculated company-wide. A goods issue is valued at average cost when it is posted, which feeds cost of sales.

What access should operations users receive?

Buyers and storekeepers prepare documents; the Approver group confirms orders and posts goods documents. Whether preparation and posting sit with different people is decided when groups are assigned.

Next step

Follow one order from supplier quote to stock on hand.

Bring a real purchase or delivery to a workflow review and see which group acts at each step.
