Purchase Orders
Businesses value this module that helps to streamline purchase order tracking and receiving.
Purchase Orders automates the tracking of vendor purchase orders and receiving. With its many user-definable settings, Purchase Orders provides flexibility and control for property managers. For example, default settings for sales tax, current vendor pricing, and cost variances may be defined to streamline purchase order handling.
Purchase Orders makes it easy for property managers to view, modify, and delete existing purchase orders. Editing features allow users to correct a purchase order before printing it, cancel a backorder against the purchase order, or modify a purchase order that has already been printed and updated.
Using Purchase Orders, you’ll appreciate these benefits:
- User-definable settings allow property managers to choose starting numbers for purchase orders, specify default sales tax percentages, and establish controls to monitor item costs and cost distribution along with order authorization.
- Purchase Orders automatically tracks vendor purchase orders and is fully integrated with Accounts Payable and Job Cost.
- Once a purchase order is created, users have the flexibility to approve and pay or hold the order from payment. Holding it, a better alternative to deleting, will keep it open and in view on open purchase order reports.
- Current pricing is stored for each vendor and each item maintained, allowing the user to easily find historical information.
- For flexibility, tax can be maintained at every level, including state, region and municipality.
