Purchase
Order System
Purchase orders are entered,
printed, and posted by one program. They
are then held open until all items have been received or cancelled, and the
vendor invoice has been posted. Each
item becomes an open item to the system so partial receipts are efficiently
accommodated. This system also
interfaces with the Sales Order Entry System.
When a purchase order with a defined sales order number is entered, the
program retrieves the line item code, description, and ship to address (for drop
shipments) to avoid reentering the same information already on the sales order. Reports from the system show open
purchase orders by number, product, vendor, and date required, giving management
information of exactly what is on order with the vendors.
On inventory items, a lead time mechanism is maintained using the date
the purchase order is placed and the date it is received.
This enables tighter inventory controls and allows "just in
time" purchasing.
