Automating Purchase Processes Integrated to Accounts Payable

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
