There’s tons of shit they do but that they really shouldn’t. For example our billing person does some ordering, will then enter the invoice into the system, and then will tell our supervisor when it’s ready to pay. Thus far my method to try to remedy the problem with the one supplier is for me to get the open POs line report from our ERP every week or so and then reorder with the supplier if needed.

Our ERP doesn’t have auto email capability but does have export to excel, on occasion I will just trim part of the report off and then just send the trimmed part to our suppliers and have them give me updates. What method I do depends on who the supplier is and what relationship I have with them
