Purchasing

The ObjAcct Purchasing module performs the functions needed to enter and process product and service purchase orders. You may establish a purchasing approval hierarchy and assign purchasing approvers and minimum purchasing amounts to users. An approval queue allows all purchasing approvers to easily review all pending purchase orders at once and reject or approve as necessary. In Purchase Order entry, the system automatically defaults values from vendor and item defaults, including: terms, cost, item descriptions, purchase from and remit to addresses and purchasing related memos. It also calculates due dates and taxes. Duplicate checking is performed during data entry and you will be prompted to continue if you enter a duplicate item. When stocked items are purchased, the item quantity on the purchase order is updated.

Purchase orders can be used to generate item receipts in the Inventory Module and vendor bills in the Accounts Payable Module.

An online purchase order inquiry screen provides immediate access to all open and historical purchase order documents. Purchasing queries and reports with drilldown capability provide in-depth purchasing transaction details necessary for purchasing control and management.
