Purchase Order

Our Purchase Order module lets you combine the strengths of an enterprise-wide information system with the knowledge of your buyers and key staff. Set the balance that fits your operation and your staff regarding purchasing decisions. A computer system can automate the purchasing for a great deal of product but it must also deliver decision-making support for those purchases which require buyer intervention. Buyers need all the information in a way that makes sense and empowers them to make the right decisions. That's what we deliver.

With the Purchase Order module, you will be able to

  • copy products from a sales order directly onto a purchase order
  • handle back orders by product, customer, or supplier
  • release purchase orders to a maximum purchasing limit assigned to each buyer
  • set up purchase orders for the automatic replacement of defective inventory items
  • automatically compare every purchase order with every associated receipt of goods
  • maintain supplier price lists
  • use vendor specific currencies for non-domestic suppliers
  • flag products for automatic purchasing
  • view previous purchases by product or vendor to obtain best pricing
  • track special order products to determine frequency and costs
  • format separate purchase order documents for individual suppliers
  • enter goal weight and order value to minimize shipping costs and take advantage of threshold discounts
  • use Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) to save time and money
