Parabilis

The Parabilis e-procurement system is a combination of new Aptos modules and access to an electronic marketplace. The system provides an addition to, not a replacement for, the standard Aptos PO management module although, in time will replace most of the core Aptos functions.

Using the new Aptos web requisitions module as a gateway, requesters enter the marketplace and create requisitions in one of three ways:

• Select a supplier and then create a free text order.
• Selecting a supplier or a commodity, create a shopping basket from a catalogue hosted on the marketplace.
• Punch out to the supplier’s e-commerce website and create a shopping basket.

In each case, once the line details have been completed the transaction is carried back to Aptos to add the final details – account codes, delivery locations etc.

After the requester has approved the requisition, the new Aptos Workflow module takes the POs through the approval process. Approved POs are transmitted automatically to the suppliers.
