ERRA for Procurement
A qualification status that actually stops an order, and a purchase order that carries the right price without a lookup.
What you do in ERRA
You qualify a supplier, link them to the ingredients they supply with pricing, pack size, minimum order quantity, and quote validity, and place purchase orders that carry the current tier price forward.
You cannot issue a purchase order against a rejected, suspended, or expired supplier qualification: the system stops you rather than letting a lapsed qualification slip through on a deadline.
What ERRA gives you
- Supplier qualification enforced at order time, with no override on a rejected, suspended, or expired status.
- Supplier-ingredient links carrying price history, minimum order quantity, and pack size forward into every order.
- Deterministic order optimization against supplier price tiers.
- Document chasing against a supplier's checklist, so an expiring certificate is visible before it lapses. Chases are opened and sent manually today; a scheduled scan with automatic reminder emails has not shipped yet.
- In-network purchase orders sent directly to a linked co-manufacturer or supplier organization, with their CoA referenced back through the same grant. Connect's usage bands are metered by co-manufacturer relationships only; a linked supplier is not a metered counterparty.
Where the record hands off
A lot you order comes back to Quality Control for receiving and CoA review. If your supplier is connected through Connect, the handoff carries their paperwork with it instead of a separate email.
