Infor CloudSuite Procurement FAQ
Does CloudSuite support blanket and long-term purchase orders?
Yes — working with blanket POs is a distinct capability from standard purchase orders, letting large manufacturers lock in pricing and terms with a supplier over a period while releasing individual shipments against it as needed.
Can procurement handle multi-currency purchasing across sites?
Yes — managing multiple currencies is supported within purchasing, which matters for CloudSuite's larger multinational customer base sourcing from suppliers in different regions.
Is a make-vs-buy decision tool built into procurement?
Yes — make vs buy is a named capability, letting planners compare producing an item in-house against purchasing it, which is useful for manufacturing operations balancing capacity against outsourcing.
Does CloudSuite support requisition-based purchasing for internal requests?
Yes — PO requisitions let employees or departments request purchases that route through approval before becoming a formal purchase order, separate from direct buyer-created POs.
