URL: http://atomberg.local

Logging In#

  1. Go to http://atomberg.local/login

  2. Enter your username and password

  3. Click Login

You’ll be redirected to the Dashboard. Your session stays active until you close the browser tab.

Your role determines what you can see and do. Admins see everything. Team members see only what their role allows.

The Dashboard (Home Page)#

When you log in, you land on the Dashboard — a quick overview of everything happening:

  • Stats cards — Revenue, total suppliers, total orders, stock levels

  • Revenue chart — Visual trend of spending

  • Recent activity — Latest changes across the system

Managing Suppliers#

Where: Click Suppliers in the sidebar

Viewing Suppliers#

You’ll see a table with all suppliers — name, code, city, status, etc. You can:

  • Search — Type in the search box to filter by name or code

  • Paginate — Use the page controls at the bottom

Creating a Supplier#

  1. Click the + Add Supplier button (top right)

  2. Fill in the form: name, code, city, phone, email

  3. Click Save

Viewing Supplier Details#

Click any supplier row to see their details page:

  • Basic info — Name, code, location, status

  • Parts they supply — List of all parts linked to this supplier

  • Portal users — Login accounts for the vendor portal

Linking Parts to a Supplier#

On the supplier detail page:

  1. Go to the Parts section

  2. Click Link Part

  3. Select the part from the dropdown

  4. Set the Share of Business (what % you buy from them)

  5. Click Save

Managing Parts#

Where: Click Parts in the sidebar

Parts are the core of the system — every physical item you buy, from a plastic screw to a motor shaft.

Viewing Parts#

The parts table shows: code, name, category, type. You can:

  • Search by code or name

  • Filter by category or type

Creating a Part#

  1. Click + Add Part

  2. Fill in: code (unique), name, type (part/product/commodity), category

  3. Click Save

If approval is required, your part goes to the approval queue instead of being created immediately.

Viewing Part Details#

Click any part row to see:

  • Part info — Code, name, type, category, description

  • Suppliers — All suppliers who sell this part, with their share of business

  • Cost sheet — Click on a supplier to see their full pricing breakdown (values, formulas, weights)

  • History — Audit trail of every change

Comparing Costs Across Suppliers#

This is one of the most powerful features:

  1. On the Parts list, click Compare

  2. Select the parts you want to compare

  3. Click Compare Selected

  4. See a side-by-side cost breakdown across all suppliers for each part

This helps you quickly identify which supplier offers the best price for each component.

Recording a New Price#

On a Part’s detail page:

  1. Click on a supplier to expand their cost sheet

  2. Click Update Cost

  3. Select the value type (for example, “Existing PO Price”)

  4. Enter the new value

  5. Click Save

The old price is automatically preserved as history. The new one becomes the “current” price.

Managing Products#

Where: Click Products in the sidebar

Products work exactly like Parts but are filtered to show only finished goods (type = “product”). Same create/edit/view workflow.

Managing Commodities#

Where: Click Commodities in the sidebar

Commodities are general materials (steel, copper, etc.) — filtered to type = “commodity”. Includes a What-If Analysis tool for simulating price changes.

Purchase Orders#

Where: Click Purchase Orders in the sidebar

Creating a PO#

  1. Click + New PO

  2. Select a supplier

  3. Add line items — pick parts, set quantity and unit price

  4. Set expected delivery date

  5. Add shipping charges and GST if needed

  6. Click Save as Draft

The system auto-calculates subtotal, GST amount, and grand total.

Submitting for Approval#

  1. Open a draft PO

  2. Review the details

  3. Click Submit for Approval

The PO moves to pending_approval status and enters the approval queue.

PO Lifecycle#

Draft → Pending Approval → Approved → Accepted → Closed
                                    ↘ Counter Pending ↗

  • Draft — Being prepared, can edit freely

  • Pending Approval — Waiting for approvers

  • Approved — Approved internally, sent to supplier

  • Counter Pending — Supplier made a counter-offer

  • Accepted — Both sides agreed

  • Closed — Goods delivered, PO complete

Handling Counter-Offers#

If a supplier proposes different prices:

  1. Open the PO (you’ll see status: counter_pending)

  2. Review their counter-offer in the Negotiations section

  3. Click Accept or Reject with a comment

Approvals#

Where: Click Approvals in the sidebar

My Tasks#

Shows approval tasks assigned to you (based on your role). For each task:

  1. Click Review

  2. Read the change request details (what’s being created/edited)

  3. Click Approve or Reject

  4. Add an optional comment

  5. Click Submit

Change Requests#

View all change requests across the system — pending, approved, and rejected. Useful for tracking what’s happening.

Approval Matrix#

Configure who needs to approve what:

  1. Click + Add Rule

  2. Select the entity type (Part, Purchase Order, etc.)

  3. Select the action (create, edit, delete)

  4. Define approval levels — which roles or specific users need to approve at each level

  5. Click Save

Settings#

Where: Click Settings in the sidebar

Category Types#

Manage categories for organizing parts and suppliers:

  • Part categories — Plastic, EPS, Casting, Foam, Tape, etc.

  • Supplier categories — OEM, Tier 1, etc.

Value Heads#

Manage the types of values tracked in the system:

  • Price types — RM Rate, Process Cost, PO Price, etc.

  • Weight types — Gross Weight, Net Weight, etc.

Each ValueHead defines a column in the cost sheet. Creating a new one means you can track a new type of cost across all parts.
