Purchase Orders
When combined with Accounts Payable, Inventory Control, and Order Entry, the Purchase Orders module provides a comprehensive, fully integrated purchasing system. You can combine multiple purchase orders on a single receipt and multiple receipts on a single invoice. The Shippable Backorder report helps identify orders that can be completed based on recent Inventory Receipts.

- Automatically update the amount spent and remaining on each blanket purchase order as additional items are ordered.
- Use seven costing methods for the default item cost, Most Recent Cost, Standard Cost, Average Cost, Vendor Cost, Last Unit Cost, and
two alternate amounts, for added flexibility. - Enter details for requested items from multiple vendors or without specifying vendors on a single requisition, and then automatically create
purchase orders for each vendor. - Create one purchase order from multiple requisitions and select the requisition details by vendor number and Inventory Control
