Purchase Order

Feature: Vendor Cost Contracts Details: This feature allows users to set vendor contracts and quantity breaks by a specific item, by Item Cost Class, or all items.  A Cost Class is a group of items that have similar discounts from the vendor.  Each contract has an effective date and an expiration date. Also accommodated are contracts for specific customers.  Quantity breaks can also be optionally set up for each contract.  In the Purchase Order entry programs, the default cost for an item is taken from a contract that exists for that item/vendor combination.  A control setting allows the purchasing agent to dictate the contract hierarchy.   V-7.2

Feature: PO Receipts Enhancement Details: In today’s fast-paced distribution environment, some receipts can’t wait until the register is run to update inventory.  The optional instant update action allows distributors to receive purchase orders and update inventory counts and costs in the warehouse immediately. The general ledger transaction continues to take place during the register.  The distributor can also receive multiple receipts on a PO without having to run the register.

 

Feature: Multiple AP Invoices Per Receipt Details: When a single inventory receipt is billed on two invoices from a vendor, the user can import individual lines in PO Invoice Receipts.  Using the flexible and fast companion item format to import the line items from the receipt, users simply toggle off those line items that are not on the invoice.   V-7.3

Feature:  Purchase Order Document Notes Details: Improve organizational communication with Document Notes.  Unlimited notes can be created per document or document line.  Additionally, not every note on every document has to be created from scratch.  Users can:  Transfer Item and Vendor Notes to Purchase Order documents  Transfer Sales Order Notes to tied Purchase Order lines  V-7.5

Feature: PO Document Inquiry additional sorting capabilities Details: This Inquiry can now sort by vendor or item. This allows a user to scroll through documents or past documents in vendor order or item order.  V-7.1

Feature: Returns for inactive items Details: Inactive items can be entered on a negative purchase order line.  V-7.1

Feature:  Line insertion in the PO entry suite  Details: For those orders that are required to be placed with items in a certain order, users can insert lines if one is forgotten rather than deleting all lines up to the point of insertion. This is especially useful for inserting memo lines after the order is complete.   V-7.1

Feature: Purchase Non-Stock Items with No SO Tie Details: For those distributors to have a need to purchase non-stock items with no existing sales order to accompany the PO line, a new flag in the warehouse/item record allows the purchase of non-stock items without a tied line.  V-7.5

Feature: PO Entry Options F/M   Details: This feature allows users to reduce screen "clutter" in the critical order entry related screens.  Only those pieces of information regularly used are placed on the main screens or passed through during the entry process. This permits quicker entry by eliminating the need to answer unnecessary or infrequently used questions. Details screens are always a keystroke away to access the remaining data.  V-7.1
