Purchase Orders

The purchase order module generates purchase orders and provides complete tracking of those orders through to accounts payable.

The purchase order module is designed to handle the complex and varied units of measure used in various industries with automatic conversion.

The module integrates with the inventory management and import management modules to allow updating of purchase order files and offers comprehensive reporting by providing business managers with full details of outstanding orders, receipts against orders, cash flow commitments and foreign exchange exposure (where foreign currency orders are made).

Indent or Agency ordering on behalf of customers is incorporated into the purchase order module which allows for the creation and tracking of indent sales orders in conjunction with the importing module.
