When combined with
Accounts Payable, Inventory Control, and Order Entry, the Purchase
Orders module provides a comprehensive, fully integrated purchasing
system. You can combine multiple purchase orders on a single receipt
and multiple receipts on a single invoice. The Shippable Backorder
report helps identify orders that can be completed based on recent
Inventory Receipts.
Purchase Orders Capabilities:
Enter active
purchase orders, standing purchase orders, future purchase
orders, and blanket purchase orders.
Automatically
update the amount spent and remaining on each blanket purchase
order as additional items are ordered.
Use seven costing
methods for the default item cost, Most Recent Cost, Standard
Cost, Average Cost, Vendor Cost, Last Unit Cost, and two
alternate amounts, for added flexibility.
Enter details for
requested items from multiple vendors or without specifying
vendors on a single requisition, and then automatically create
purchase orders for each vendor.
Create one
purchase order from multiple requisitions and select the
requisition details by vendor number and Inventory Control
vendor type.
Leave purchase
orders open indefinitely until all items are received or cancel
any remaining ordered items at any time.
Quickly
consolidate items from multiple purchase orders on a single
receipt.
Process multiple
invoices for a single receipt.
Designate
non-inventory item numbers for one-time purchases, office
supplies, and any non-inventory item.
Automatically
receive all items on a purchase order at once or receive partial
purchase orders, entering quantities only for received items.
Receive items
with or without first entering a purchase order for those items.
Process
adjustments to quantities, item costs and additional costs
directly on the receipt or return, rather than as separate
inventory adjustments.
Allocate
additional charges by quantity, weight, or cost, or manually
specify the cost.
Automatically
produce purchase orders from Inventory Control reorder
information or from Order Entry orders.
Quickly create
templates of standard information to speed data entry.
Include all items
on sales orders or only those items that have a back-ordered
quantity, or items that have an insufficient inventory quantity.
Automatically
drop ship items directly from the vendor to the customer.
Enter additional
costs such as freight or duty on a single receipt for received
inventory items from multiple vendors, and easily create a
separate invoice for each vendor.
Set up any number
of additional cost codes for efficient entry of standard costs.
Choose the type
of Inventory Control item cost to display as the default cost.
Enter quantities
using any unit of measure defined in Inventory Control.
Restrict access
to Purchase Orders windows, costs, and quantities on invoices,
and credit note adjustments.
Print
requisitions, purchase orders, receiving slips, returns, and
mailing labels using standard Purchase Orders formats, or design
custom forms and reports using the built-in report writers.
Create messages
you can use when sending purchase orders and returns to your
vendors by e-mail.
Use Purchase
Orders as a stand-alone module or integrated with Inventory
Control.
