SourceIT. Procurement & supply chain, end-to-end.

InventiX-SourceIT is a comprehensive Order Management and Procurement platform built for discrete manufacturing — with deep specialisation for leather, footwear, apparel and furniture. From customer order intake to MRP, RFQ, PO, GRN, QC and vendor settlement — every step runs on one integrated, audit-ready system.

SourceIT in production environment
Overview

Why SourceIT exists.

Material that arrives late, wrong or short is the single biggest reason factory plans collapse on day one. SourceIT closes the loop between sales orders, the production plan and the vendor — generating MRP automatically from approved BOMs and live stock-on-hand.

The platform manages domestic and import POs, multi-step approval workflows, supplier price lists, gate-entry, GRN, invoice verification and QC at goods inward — with barcode tagging at the point of receipt so every chemical, leather hide and trim accessory has a digital identity from day one.

Closed-loop integration with PlanIT and StoreIT means materials are reserved against jobs before they arrive, issued by BOM not by guess, and consumed against the real production order — eliminating leakage and giving finance true landed cost per SKU.

The problem we solve

What breaks without SourceIT.

Issue · 01

Material arrives late or wrong

Manual follow-ups over calls, emails and WhatsApp lead to delays, wrong specifications and short shipments — and the plan dies on day one.

Issue · 02

No single view of vendor performance

Quality, on-time and price metrics live on different sheets. Supplier negotiation happens on opinion, not data.

Issue · 03

Buying disconnected from planning

POs are placed for today's perceived need, not next week's actual plan. Then we either run short or overstock.

Issue · 04

GRN-PO-invoice mismatch

Manual matching of PO, GRN and invoice produces overbilling, vendor disputes and slow payment cycles.

Issue · 05

Import compliance is painful

Domestic and import POs follow different rules — duty, freight, BoE, customs — and manual handling causes costly errors.

Issue · 06

Material wastage stays hidden

Without consumption tracking against the BOM, 10–15% material wastage hides inside 'normal' operations.

End-to-end workflow

How SourceIT runs the process.

01

Sales order intake

Customer orders are received, validated against capacity and converted into factory work orders with full style and BOM specifications.

02

BOM-driven MRP

MRP is auto-generated against approved BOMs and current stock-on-hand. Cumulative purchase requests are raised across multiple orders for buying efficiency.

03

Stock reservation

Available stock is reserved against the order job card before procurement begins — preventing double-allocation across orders.

04

RFQ, PR & PO

Purchase requests are raised, approved and converted into domestic or import POs against vendor price lists — with full multi-step approval and audit trail.

05

Gate entry & GRN

Materials arrive; gate entry captures the inflow; GRN is auto-generated against the PO with quantity, quality and compliance fields.

06

QC & inward

QC at goods inward inspects against PO specifications. Accepted material is barcoded and posted to stock; rejections trigger debit notes and vendor returns automatically.

07

Issue by job card

Materials are issued only against job-card BOMs — over-issue is blocked; substitutions require approval and create a full audit trail.

08

Vendor settlement

Three-way matching of PO, GRN and invoice; landed cost is computed; vendor scorecards update automatically on every transaction.

Capabilities

What SourceIT delivers.

01

Sales order to work order

Validate customer orders against capacity and material, then split intelligently across lines, shifts or styles. Handles forecast, sample and priority jobs distinctly.

02

BOM-driven MRP

Auto-generated MRP from approved style BOMs and current stock — cumulative across multiple orders to maximise purchasing leverage.

03

Purchase request workflow

Multi-step PR approvals with role-based limits; cumulative aggregation across orders; full reservation against stock-on-hand.

04

Domestic & import POs

Native support for both flows including customs, duty, freight and BoE; landed-cost computed per PO line.

05

Vendor price lists

Centralised, version-controlled vendor pricing with effective-date and currency support — drives consistent quotation and PO pricing.

06

Gate entry, GRN & QC

Material inflow tracked from the gate through GRN and quality inspection. Only QC-passed material is barcoded and posted to stock.

07

Three-way matching

PO + GRN + invoice auto-matched. Discrepancies generate debit notes and vendor returns with full approval workflow.

08

Vendor scorecard

Quality, on-time and price metrics maintained automatically per supplier — used for negotiation, awarding and de-listing.

Feature deep-dive

Every detail, built in.

Order management (OMS)

Capacity-validated intake

Every order is checked against live capacity and material availability before commitment.

Factory work-order generation

Customer orders convert into production-ready work orders with size grids, colour breakdowns and route sheets.

Job-card barcoding

Every job card carries a barcode driving material issue, operation capture and dispatch — no paper, no re-typing.

Procurement

RFQ & quote comparison

Send RFQs to multiple vendors; compare quotes side-by-side; release POs with full approval trail.

Domestic & import PO

Specialised flows for import — incoterms, freight, BoE, customs duty — with landed-cost rolled into stock value.

PO mapping & cancellation

Every PO line traces back to the originating PR and MRP; controlled cancellation with audit trail.

Receiving & inspection

Gate entry

All vehicle and material inflow/outflow logged at the gate with photo, weight and driver details.

GRN & QC

GRN auto-created from PO; QC inspection captures conformance, defect rates and lot-level acceptance.

Debit note & vendor return

Rejected material flows back to vendor with auto-generated debit note and dispatch documentation.

Settlement & analytics

Three-way matching

PO, GRN and invoice reconciled automatically; exceptions routed for approval — not silently paid.

Landed cost & FIFO ledger

Stock valued at landed cost with FIFO or weighted-average per item class.

Supplier performance analytics

Live scorecards on quality, OTD and price — driving negotiation and consolidation decisions.
