​
🔎 New to this? : What is a Purchase Indent?

Step 1: Go to the Purchase Orders Screen

  • Navigate to:
     Orders → Purchase Orders



  • Locate the indent you just created

  • Note the linked Sales Order Unit shown under the “Sales Order” column



Step 2: Click on the Sales Order Unit

  • Click the Unit ID (e.g., Unit 1/2507/023) linked to the indent

  • This opens the detailed view of the Sales Order Unit



Step 3: Navigate to the Raw Materials Tab

  • Inside the Unit, go to the Raw Materials tab

  • This tab shows the breakdown of required raw materials


🔹 Step 4: Check the Procurement Status

For each item:

Field

Description

Inventory Status

Available vs Required Qty (e.g., 45 kg of 100 kg)

Procurement Status

Shows indent raised (e.g., Indent: 150 kg)

PO Delivery Date

Will be blank at this stage (since PO not created)

Issued Qty / Consumed Qty

Shows stock movement if any

🔹 Step 5: Hover to View Indent Details

  • Hover over the “Indent” link under Procurement Status

  • A tooltip will display:

    • Indent Number

    • Remaining Qty

Conclusion:

Before a Purchase Order is created, ManufApp allows users to track material procurement status through the Sales Order’s Raw Material Planning tab. Once a Purchase Indent is raised, it reflects clearly in the Procurement Status, showing the requested quantity and remaining shortage. This visibility helps the planning and purchase teams stay aligned, ensuring procurement is initiated without delay.
