How to


JTL-Wawi has an extensive purchasing and supplier management. In the Procurement area, you create your suppliers and maintain all relevant supplier master data. For each supplier, you create a separate data set in which you can manage their individual data, from the address to contacts to conditions and delivery conditions.

In addition, you can also communicate directly with customers via the supplier management and generate requests for quotations and purchase orders via the toolbar.


Before you order items from your suppliers or have JTL-Wawi generate purchase order proposals, you should make some general settings. For example, it makes sense to define the rules in advance according to which the purchase order IDs of purchase orders are to be generated.

But you may also want to work with some templates or determine whether, for example, purchase orders always have to be authorised before being processed. Just click through the links at the top to find the topic that is relevant to you.


You are new to JTL-Wawi and have previously used a different system or you have been working with JTL-Wawi for a long time and would like to make changes to many existing supplier data sets without having to edit each data set individually?

Read the documentation linked above, to learn how to import and export your supplier data sets quickly and efficiently into JTL-Wawi and to make mass changes to existing data sets efficiently.


Related topics in the Procurement are mainly aimed at users who are looking for help for rarely needed functionalities. For example, you can exclude certain suppliers from the purchase list. The items of these suppliers cannot then be added to the purchase list.

Or maybe you work with drop shipping and want to track and process the sales orders accurately. Here you can find the links to the corresponding documentation.
