Order management, which constitutes the two main processes of purchasing in retail chains along with price management, is the most critical business process of the company.The software system, together with the users, has a great role to play in managing products in various categories with very different purchasing characteristics with the correct stock levels in each store.
Our order decision support system, which we developed under the name Product Requirements Planning (ÜGP), is basically
ösummarize order data > request >confirm request > order >evaluate confirm > notify order
It is a comprehensive and flexible process that consists of steps such as the following and can be initiated by store employees, head office employees or the system proposer.These steps can be simplified according to the needs of the company.
Separation of Request, Order and Shipment Quantity
From determining the stock shortage to making the shipment, we complete the process in the following 3 stages instead of a single order document.
Determining whether a store or warehouse is out of stock
Creating an order by processing this list
Determination of shipment quantities according to the product on hand in shipments from warehouses to stores
Product-Store Based Order Data
All data that may be a factor in determining stock shortages are presented in formats as desired by users. These data may be company rules, data entered by users, or values calculated by the system.For example, purchase status, purchase location, decision maker, fixed and many fields such as dynamic over/under/optimum stock levels, balance order, number of parcels, upcoming special price period can be saved and used under different headings and in the desired order.
System Recommendations, Automatic Order
With the automatic ordering systems we design in the light of company decisions and order data, the most suitable stock levels for the company are calculated according to the specific conditions of each category and presented to the users so that they can make the final decision.
ÜGP Templates - Order Data
NeedçAll order data you hear can be created independently of the software, and all data can be stored in the order you want, in the form of certain data lists and with the names you want.Since different categories will be approached with different information, an extremely flexible data management emerges. Within DerinSİS, you can list the category-company-brand products of your choice and select from these templates you have prepared, and collect the order data in the order you want and with high performance.While viewing, you can enter the request/order quantity from the same list.
A power of üGP Templates’Another advantage is that it allows you to create your own order data and use them in templates, independent of the software.So much so that whenever you need it,You can create a concept you may hear about, such as 'average stock quantity of stores', and have it appear on users' screens.Or you can independently open a store-based area, have some values calculated and recorded by the system, and allow users to see this information readily and make request/order decisions accordingly.
By preparing special templates for products with special prices, access to the products is facilitated and additional information about the products in this situation can be presented to users for special comparisons.
GP Control - Stock Balancing
Before placing orders to companies, stock balancing for the company can be easily done and the finalized quantities are converted into orders, which are carried out in the GP Control step.Acting within a certain daily time frame, the store and purchasing team can avoid unnecessary purchases and loss of time by considering excess stocks, excess requests, pre- and post-insert stock distributions before notifying companies precisely.
ÜGP Evaluation - Order Budgeting, Balancing and Evaluation
Orders are evaluated collectively in line with purchasing expertise or order budgets determined on a company basis.To ensure that unapproved orders are collectively analyzed, balanced, approved and sent to product providers according to criteria such as store/category/category manager/company/due date. Term or spatial accumulations are balanced at this point.After necessary cancellations and quantity increases are made, orders are confirmed and finalized.Since all stocks can be examined together, inter-store shipment orders can be placed when necessary.
GP MAY - Central Procurement Management

Document Notification Management - Order Notification to Product Providers and Warehouse
According to the product provider communication method, confirmed orders are sent by e-mail and fax, minimizing errors in terms of information.In order notifications, very practical solutions are provided to typical confusions by clearly listing the previous outstanding orders below the new quantities. In special projects, formats suitable for transfer are also provided through data integration studies with product providers.shipping is possible.There is also a special screen for the warehouse to view shipment orders.Additionally, balance orders can be viewed online on handheld terminals.
Multiple delivery note connection, line and document based order closing
While more than one order can be closed with a single delivery note, an order can also be closed with more than one delivery note.The rest of the order can be canceled or if necessary in real commercial applications.Rows can also be canceled one by one as they are heard.It is also possible to implement row-based cancellations very practically within the authority.Users can also cancel the order lines they choose at any point where they can access product transaction details.
Automatic Order Linking to Delivery Notes, Automatic Order Closing
The most difficult issues in transitioning to the ordering process are selecting the relevant order during dispatch and keeping the orders open.With the solutions we offer for both situations at DerinSİS, the system works automatically according to real commercial operation.
Approval Process, Authorization and Category Management
Category management ensures that purchasing experts work only with products, requests and orders that are relevant to them.Rules can be set as to which products can be requested by the store and which can be requested by the purchasing department at the center.Then, it is determined at which stage approval authority will be required and the company's real business processes are reflected in the order system.
The approval process can be managed as gradual approval according to document-based monetary conditions.In levels that can be designed dynamically, if the document amount does not match the user's assigned level, it is created without approval and is recorded awaiting approval by the user with appropriate authority.In order to manage large purchasing teams more easily, level templates are defined on the basis of 'role' and these roles are assigned to users.
Order Consolidation and Product Distribution
As a special application, in order to bring the orders from the stores to the warehouse from the companies to the warehouse, these orders can be combined and routed to the companies.Following the goods acceptance procedures, the distribution to the stores is also managed by the system.
