Procurement Tracker (engine)

Extract procurement items from a schedule of values, bill of materials, or procurement log. Every extracted row becomes a live entry in the Procurement Tracker workspace with vendor, PO, ETA, and budget burn.

Engine Phase: Tracking Runtime: Continuous (not per-run) Pro+

What it does

Procurement Tracker (engine) reads a procurement source document — SOV, BOM, bid leveling export, or existing procurement log — and extracts each item as a structured record: description, qty, unit, assigned vendor (if known), PO number (if issued), committed amount, actual ETA, and current status. Output imports to the Procurement Tracker workspace, where you manage items through delivery.

Items extracted at wrong granularity

SOV line "Electrical package" is too coarse to track separately from "Switchgear" — provide a more granular source, or edit rows before import.
