Automating purchasing means a request moves from submission through supplier comparison, approval, and finally posting as a payable — all as one connected flow, instead of separate steps handled in different tools. In **Jestor**, this connects structured purchase forms, alçada-based approval, and native ERP integration.

Purchasing breaks most visibly at the seams: between requesting and comparing suppliers, and between approval and actually recording the payable in the ERP.

## What fragments the purchase-to-payable process

- Purchase requests submitted informally, without a consistent structure
- Supplier comparison happening outside any structured record
- Manual re-entry between approval and the resulting accounts payable entry
- No visibility into which purchases are still pending approval

## How the connected flow works

- A **form** captures the purchase request, with multiple supplier quotes if relevant
- **Alçada** rules route approval based on value and cost center
- Once approved, the purchase posts directly into **Omie** or **Conta Azul** as a payable
- The full history — request, comparison, approval, posting — stays in one record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Purchasing, approval, and the ERP entry share the same connected structure
- No manual re-entry step between approval and the payable record
- Supplier comparison stays part of the same request, not a separate exercise
- SLA tracking shows where purchase approvals are slowing down

| Purchase process step | How it connects            |
| --------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Supplier comparison   | Within the same request    |
| Approval to payable   | Direct, native ERP posting |
