Purchasing

Purchasing is an integral part of the manufacturing process. You are offered a variety of options to help you purchase materials, outside processing services, and other items for your jobs and inventory. Purchasing system elements include:

Purchase Orders Purchase orders can be manually entered via the Purchase Order Screen or automatically generated from jobs or inventory. Each line item has its own due date and can be tied to specific jobs and routing sequences.

PO Receiving Line items are received through the Purchase Receipts screen, which is optimized for batch receiving of multiple line item receipts. Line items can also be received one-by-one within the Purchase Order Screen,

PO Generation from Jobs You can use the Buy-for-Job screen to automatically generate PO's from jobs for stock items and subcontract services, including the transfer of job detail notes to the PO.
