Digit Procurement
Purchase order management, supplier management, requisition workflows, contract management, and spend analytics.
Procurement is a core strength for Digit — a primary capability included in standard deployments. The product is best suited to smb and mid-market manufacturers and distributors that need real-time mrp, inventory, and shop-floor traceability without enterprise cost.
Key capabilities
Purchase requisition and approval workflows
Multi-level approval routing based on spend thresholds, cost centres, and item categories. Requesters submit needs via web or mobile, and approvers act on notifications — enforcing purchasing policies before commitments are made.
Purchase order management
Automated PO generation from approved requisitions or MRP recommendations with vendor selection, price comparison, and delivery scheduling. Tracks order status from placement through receipt to invoice clearance.
Supplier evaluation and scorecard
Quantitative scorecards measuring on-time delivery, quality rejection rates, price competitiveness, and responsiveness. Provides objective data for supplier rationalisation, negotiation, and strategic sourcing decisions.
Contract management and compliance
Stores supplier contracts with pricing terms, volume commitments, rebates, and expiry alerts. Automatically applies contract pricing to purchase orders and flags deviations from negotiated terms.
Three-way matching (PO, receipt, invoice)
Automated comparison of purchase order, goods receipt, and vendor invoice for quantity, price, and tax accuracy. Blocks payment on mismatched invoices and routes exceptions for review, preventing overpayment and fraud.
Spend analytics and reporting
Categorised spend visibility by vendor, commodity, department, and period with drill-down dashboards. Identifies consolidation opportunities, maverick spending, and contract leakage to drive procurement savings.
Blanket orders and scheduling agreements
Long-term purchase agreements with scheduled delivery releases, allowing buyers to negotiate volume pricing while calling off materials as needed. Reduces administrative overhead for recurring purchases.
Supplier portal and self-service
Vendor-facing portal for PO acknowledgement, ASN submission, invoice upload, and payment status checks. Reduces procurement team email volume and gives suppliers real-time visibility into order and payment status.

Procurement FAQ
What is ERP procurement?
ERP procurement automates the purchase-to-pay cycle — from requisition creation through approval, purchase order generation, goods receipt, and invoice matching. It controls spending and ensures policy compliance.
How does three-way matching work in ERP?
Three-way matching automatically compares the purchase order, goods receipt, and vendor invoice to ensure quantities and prices align before authorising payment. This prevents overpayment and fraud.
Can ERP manage supplier contracts?
Yes, most ERPs track supplier contracts including terms, pricing, volume commitments, and expiry dates. Some ERPs automatically apply contract pricing to purchase orders and flag compliance deviations.
Which ERP has the best procurement module?
SAP (with Ariba integration), Oracle ERP Cloud, and Dynamics 365 offer enterprise-grade procurement. For mid-market, Acumatica and Sage Intacct provide strong procurement at lower cost.
How does ERP procurement reduce costs?
ERP procurement reduces costs through automated approval workflows (preventing maverick spending), spend visibility (identifying consolidation opportunities), supplier performance tracking, and negotiation leverage from centralised purchasing data.
Do I still need standalone procurement software like Coupa or SAP Ariba if my ERP has a procurement module?
Usually not for operational buying. An ERP procurement module handles requisition, approval, purchase orders, receipts, three-way matching and spend reporting natively, against the same item, inventory and ledger records as the rest of the business. Dedicated source-to-pay platforms such as Coupa, SAP Ariba and GEP are chosen mainly for strategic sourcing depth — sourcing events, category management and supplier risk monitoring — and are layered on top of an ERP where that activity is central.
Does every ERP include a procurement module?
Almost every ERP includes purchase order functionality, but depth varies widely and that is what to test. Most systems cover the basics: create a PO, receive against it, match the invoice. Fewer handle multi-dimensional approval hierarchies, contract price enforcement, blanket orders with call-off releases, supplier scorecards, a self-service supplier portal or usable spend categorisation. Some vendors also license the portal and sourcing separately, so check the base module.
What is the difference between purchasing and procurement in an ERP system?
Purchasing is the transactional subset: raising purchase orders, receiving goods and processing supplier invoices. Procurement is the wider process around it — sourcing and selecting suppliers, negotiating contracts and pricing, enforcing approval policy, monitoring supplier performance and analysing spend. Many ERP vendors use the terms interchangeably in their marketing, so judge the module by the capabilities it actually ships rather than by the label on the menu.
