Purchasing Management System Internal Architecture Diagram
The "Purchasing Management System" is described by two Internal Application Architecture Diagrams.
The "Purchasing Management System - AAD Purchasing (Flows)" diagram presents:
• the main applications that intervene in the purchasing management system.
• the main exchanges with suppliers in the context of the purchasing management system.
Equipment purchases for boat maintenance are made directly by the Representation Office, using the "Equipment Purchasing" application. This application calls a "Purchasing Management" application located centrally at Headquarters.
If the purchase involves a new type of equipment or a new supplier, a contract request is sent to the supplier using the application at Headquarters. The supplier returns a contract proposal.
In the other cases, a representative from the Representation Office sends a purchase order to the supplier using the "Equipment Purchasing" application.
Reception of purchases delivered from the supplier is handled by the "Boat Inventory Management" application at the Representation Office.
The invoice sent by the supplier is managed in the "Billing" application at Headquarters.
