Tracking purchase orders is very important to maintaining a 
proper inventory system. Balancing the items on order, in inventory, allocated 
to technicians, and lead times can improve your investment in your inventory and 
lower your inventory costs.
 
Flexibility in data entry.
	The system maintains sequential purchase 
	order numbers, or verbal purchase order numbers may be given to the vendor 
	and entered into the system at a later date.
	The purchase order system may be used to 
	enter vendors into the Accounts Payable vendor file. This allows the person 
	ordering to change a vendor to get the best price.
	Special messages may be printed on the 
	bottom of the purchase order for notices to the vendor.
	Purchase Orders may be pre-paid.
	All inventory products may have alternate 
	vendors, allowing orders to be placed based on the best price, terms, and 
	availability of the item.
	Multiple ship to locations for each vendor 
	allow quick easy choice for shipping.
 
Management routines and controls
	Minimum stock levels can be calculated and 
	the inventory updated.
	All outstanding purchase orders by a 
	vendor or item may be displayed and/or printed.
	The purchases "on hold" report will list 
	all orders and inventory quantities which have been received but not yet 
	matched to an invoice.
	The Purchase Order system is a two-step 
	system. When inventory is received, the packing slip is entered into your 
	system to reflect the inventory received. At a later time, the invoice is 
	received to update the true cost and to create a voucher in the Accounts 
	Payable system.
	The Purchase Order system updates the inventory when the 
	purchase order is received. The Accounts Payable system is updated when the 
	invoice is received.
	The Purchase Order system allows timely closing of your 
	books at end of month by recognizing costs for true accrual accounting.
	The Purchase Order system will print a low stock report or 
	a recommended order for your entire inventory or for a selected category of 
	inventory.
 
Time saving features
	The Purchase Orders system will print shelf labels for the 
	quantity received, quantity on hand, or quantity on hand for an inventory 
	category.
	Purchase orders can be faxed directly from the purchase 
	order system. (requires faxing center).
	The vendor's name and address is automatically retrieved 
	from the accounts payable system, if installed.
	Purchase orders may be canceled with automatic reduction 
	of quantity on order in the inventory item file.
	When the packing slip is received, a list of your 
	customers with inventory on backorder is printed. 
	The list price of the item can be updated immediately upon 
	receipt of the purchase order to maintain your profit margin.
	The packing slip and invoice can be scanned, stored, 
	viewed, and/or printed.
