Source runs your buy side, from the request for quotation to the invoice matched against what arrived.
It can hold your suppliers and their price lists, send a request to many of them at once, bring the answers back comparable, raise the purchase order, chase the acknowledgement and book the goods in, all beside your sales orders rather than in a separate system.
Give your customers a price built on what you actually pay today and a date you can commit to, because the buying and the selling share one set of numbers.
With Kabaido Stock on, receipts land in the ledger, on order quantities are visible and reorder points become actions.

In more detail
A supplier master beside the customer master, price lists whose best price you can accept as cost, outbound requests for quotation at scale with comparable answers, purchase orders under the Purchase view of the same Orders area as sales orders, goods receipts and invoice matching. Supplier replies that carry the request number are filed by the same email agent that reads customer mail.

| Quotes | /app/quotes | an area in the menu |
| Orders | /app/orders | an area in the menu |
| Suppliers | /app/suppliers | an area in the menu |
| Catalogue | /app/catalog | an area in the menu |
It adds to Stock when the product that brings that area is on too.
Works with Stock. Nothing is a prerequisite: each pair only adds to the other.
Switching it on and off
Switch it on in Settings then Products, on any plan. It brings Suppliers, supplier quotes, purchase orders under Orders and suppliers' prices in the Catalogue.
Switched off: Suppliers, price lists and purchase orders stay readable. Nothing new can be requested or raised until it is switched on again.
