# Procurement Overview: Manage Purchases and Suppliers

> Learn how Zentrix Cloud Procurement connects purchase orders, supplier records, and inventory so stock updates flow automatically across branches.

The Procurement module in Zentrix Cloud is your central hub for purchasing stock and managing supplier relationships. Every purchase order you create links directly to supplier records and updates inventory counts in the Products module when goods arrive, so your stock levels stay accurate without manual re-entry.

Use Procurement to plan restocks, send orders to suppliers, track deliveries, and reconcile incoming invoices. If you operate multiple branches, each branch can maintain its own purchase orders and supplier assignments while consolidated reporting keeps headquarters informed.

## What you can do in Procurement

* **Create and manage purchase orders** from draft through delivery
* **Track supplier details**, product catalogs, and typical lead times
* **Receive goods** so stock updates automatically in Products
* **Reconcile supplier invoices** against received quantities
