Purchase Order

Purchase Order features include:

• Extremely versatile Purchase Order system allows you to issue Purchase Orders that are distributed to multiple warehouses. Unlimited custom-defined charges (e.g. freight, duty)can be added on a per-line or per-order basis and entered at either Purchase Order entry time or at Receiving time. They can be entered as dollar amounts, percentages of the total, or on a quantity-rate basis. Per-order charges can be distributed by weight, volume or dollar value over the entire order for the purpose of determining landed costs of each item. These costs are automatically calculated and broken down into detail by the system in the Receivings report

• Purchase Orders can be created from scratch or by using the powerful Purchase Order Advice utility. This utility allows you to view the recent purchase history of all items sold by a particular supplier and quickly construct a Purchase Order via point-and-click, based on the relevant information displayed on screen.
