# How Can I Automate Purchasing Integrated With Accounts Payable?

You automate purchasing by connecting the request, vendor comparison, approval, and final accounts payable entry into a single flow, instead of separate steps handled in different tools. On **Jestor**, this connects structured purchase forms, **alcada**\-based approval, and native ERP integration.

Purchasing tends to break down most visibly at the transitions, between requesting something and comparing vendors, and between approval and actually recording the accounts payable entry.

## What fragments the purchasing-to-payable process

- Purchase requests submitted informally, with no consistent structure
- Vendor comparison happening manually, 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 vendor quotes if relevant
- **Alcada** rules route approval based on value and cost center
- Once approved, the purchase enters directly into **Omie** or **Conta Azul** as accounts payable
- The full history, request, comparison, approval, entry, stays on a single record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Vendor comparison, approval, and accounts payable entry share the same connected structure
- Native ERP integration removes the manual re-entry step
- The requester and approver see one continuous process, not disconnected tools
- SLA tracking shows where the purchasing-to-payable process is still slowing down

| Purchasing step   | How the flow structures it         |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Vendor comparison | Multiple quotes within one request |
