Interactive preview
One purchase, from request to invoice question.
This preview follows a single fictional need through five steps. Every quantity and amount reconciles with the records shown, and values that a real buyer would not know yet stay marked unknown.

Owner in this step: Buyer
Offers are placed side by side with their source excerpts. Values that are still unknown stay marked as unknown.
| Supplier | Unit price | Qty | Freight | Quoted total before tax | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $420.00 | 12 | $120.00 | $5,160.00 | 10 days | |
| $435.00 | 12 | $0.00 | $5,220.00 | 7 days | |
| $410.00 | 12 | Unknown | Not comparable yet | 14 days |
Totals are before tax. Taxes, other fees and supplier qualification are not established by these quotes. Supplier C's item subtotal is $4,920.00, which is not a complete offer total because freight is unknown. The lowest item price is not automatically the best offer.
Supplier B
Sample dataSource excerpt
Quote sheet, line 1: drive assembly, 12 each at $435.00. Freight stated as included at no charge.
Still needs review
- Taxes and other fees not established
- Supplier qualification not confirmed
Illustrative review amount for DEMO-PR-1042: $5,300.00. This is a sample planning amount, not a live funding balance.
Step 3 of 5: Compare
Explore a sample purchase
Follow fictional records through the proposed workflow. No supplier is contacted and no transaction is created.
Amounts are before tax
Taxes, other fees and supplier qualification are not established by the sample quotes, so no total is presented as a full cost.
People decide
The preview never selects a supplier for you. The buyer decision it shows is a scripted example of a human choice.
Secondary scenario
When matching is not enough
- Effective contract rate
- $100.00 per hour
- Rate on the order and the invoice
- $110.00 per hour
- Accepted hours
- 20
- Rate difference
- $200.00
Illustrative contract-control scenario under development. The purchase order and the invoice agree with each other, so quantity and price matching alone would pass. The effective contract rate is the record that disagrees.
This complete cross-area control has not shipped. It is included here to explain why connecting the agreement matters.
