Purchase Orders Overview

The Purchase Order processing system allows for entry of purchase orders, updates related inventory files, and maintains a file of outstanding purchase orders for management review. Purchase Orders are authorized by selected users entering their PIN number for preset dollar amounts, per transit policies.

PO's can be printed with an Order From address, while accounts payable checks may be directed to another mailing address. The purchase order also indicates both a Ship to and Bill to address for your organization.

To assist in getting your received merchandise on the shelf more quickly, a Receiving Document indicating purchase order information and both the vendor and in-house item number is available. This document also specifies the warehouse bin location where the item should be stored.

Purchase orders entered via this system automatically update quantity on-order in inventory. Receipts against purchase orders add to quantity on-hand and decrease quantity on-order. PO Invoice Update computes inventory values and posts transaction data to accounts payable.

Vendor master and purchase order master files can be accessed for inquiry and reporting purposes. Purchase Orders may also be generated via the Requisitions module with required Authorizations. The system can also generate and track Blanket Purchase Orders for regularly purchased items, such as fuel or tires, etc.
