Purchase Orders

Purchase Orders are used by the business to buy Inventory Items from Suppliers.

The Purchase Orders module works in conjunction with the Inventory and Payables modules to provide complete management capabilities for the transactions related to purchasing goods and services from business suppliers.

In this module received and partially-received inventory purchase orders are tracked. For example, when an Inventory purchase order is only partially filled, the information is relayed back to the Inventory module and is shown in the On Order section of the Inventory Control box.

There are three main stages to most Purchase Orders:

• An Order is submitted to an Inventory Item Suppler
• Full or partial delivery is Received from the Supplier
• The Invoice from the Supplier is processed

Within the Purchase Order module many features are available:

• Serial Numbers for Inventory Items can be recorded
• Memos that can be attached to each Purchase Order to record specific details
• Miscellaneous Inventory Item ordering for one-of-a-kind or unusual item ordering from Suppliers
• Received Items which must be Returned to the Supplier.
