Topic: Purchase Order Entry for 2.2

Purchase Order Entry for 2.2  What I think anyway...

When you go to Purchase Order Entry and select a supplier the system should automatically query the records for that supplier and return all the Order Items for that supplier that have a  reorder amount greater then stock amount, as well it should also enter a preset order amount, for these items, for that supplier.  You would edit and process from there.

There are other issues like when you have the same item that you can get from 2 or 3 suppliers,  multiple quantity price breaks, etc.  You could build an entire module around the Purchase Order, but I think the above would take care of most.

Re: Purchase Order Entry for 2.2

Yes the list of improvents which can be made here is long, e.g. we should also use supplier side item codes/descriptions and eventually supplier unit of measure on purchase orders. Evidently we should improve resource planning in 2.2.

Re: Purchase Order Entry for 2.2

More on this Purchase Order System,

A location manager will do a report of Inventory Status, ether be cause he is required to, (daily, weekly, etc), or he is out of stock on an item and he wants to get more.

This Inventory Status Report would show all Items at that location with a Reorder Level (greater then) Quantity, filtered by supplier or not.  This report will tell him that he needs to do a PO or not.  If a Purchase Order is needed, for that location, then he would print a Stock Check Sheet for that supplier or suppliers and send it out on the floor for stock check, when he gets it back and makes the necessary corrections to the system, he will then initiate a PO, the PO system would check stock at other locations and give you the option to move stock items or order from supplier.

and more...
