Campfire Procurement FAQ
Does Campfire have a purchase order system?
No — Campfire's procurement capability is rated basic and limited to vendor and department reference data rather than PO issuance, approval routing, or receiving. It supports the vendor bill side of accounting, not a procurement workflow.
What vendor data can Campfire track?
Campfire maintains a vendor master list with a summarized listing and lookup by external ID, plus department tagging and custom fields for internal reporting — reference data that feeds bills and payments rather than a full supplier-management module.
Can Campfire route purchases for approval before they're bought?
Not as a dedicated procurement workflow — Campfire's coverage here is vendor and department reference data rather than purchase requisition or PO approval chains. Companies needing formal purchase approval workflows typically layer a dedicated procurement tool alongside Campfire.
Is Campfire's procurement good enough for a company with significant vendor spend?
It depends on complexity — Campfire tracks vendors, departments, and custom fields well enough to code and pay bills, but lacks purchase-order issuance or supplier onboarding workflows. Companies with heavier indirect-spend needs should evaluate a dedicated procurement add-on.
