Kaijuu
How Kaijuu helps
Kaijuu helps you create a purchase order with several items for one supplier, record deliveries and see what is still due.
Business example
One supplier order covers three gift-box shortages
Boxes, ribbon and candles come from the same supplier and receiving location, so the merchant can prepare one multi-line purchase order.
| Product | Needed | Available | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gift boxes | 40 | 10 | 30 |
| Ribbon rolls | 20 | 5 | 15 |
| Candles | 60 | 50 | 10 |
- Confirm each shortage
- Prepare one purchase order for the supplier
- Send it using the usual supplier process
- Record deliveries against each line
