Validate the workflow with one real purchase order
Before buying or replacing software, run one representative multi-line PO from reviewed source through supplier response and buyer resolution. Include at least one accepted line, one proposed date or quantity change, and one delivery or reminder edge case. Confirm that every participant can identify the current owner and next action, that the original order remains unchanged, and that the final commitment can be exported and traced to its response and decision. Also verify the supplier experience on a normal phone and desktop browser, revoke and reissue a response link, inspect a failed delivery, and test the role boundary with a non-owner buyer. This evidence is more useful than a feature checklist because it exposes adoption friction, hidden authority, and incomplete system boundaries before the workflow reaches production volume.
Keep source, proposal, decision, and commitment distinct
Pacteva records supplier responses and authorized buyer decisions. It does not silently alter the reviewed purchase order or claim an ERP changed unless a configured write-back is verified. Requisitions, budgets, receipts, invoices, payments, inventory, and shipping remain in their systems of record.
What buyers usually ask
Do suppliers need paid seats?
No. Suppliers respond through accountless order links and do not consume buyer-user seats.
Is there a free trial?
The sandbox is a permanent free plan with limited order, user, and supplier capacity, suitable for validating the workflow.
Can we change plans later?
Workspace owners can manage an active subscription through the billing portal. Capacity enforcement follows the current plan status.
