With this option you can create a new purchase order either from scratch,
or using a previous order as a template, or then again with the purchase
order expert, a new and powerful decision making tool.
This screen displays all previously created purchase orders, unless they
have been deleted or processed partially or completely through the merchandise
reception option.
Purchase Order Creation
Purchase order can be created in three different ways:
New purchase order:
Create a new purchase order from scratch.
Copy from an existing purchase order:
Create a new purchase order using a previous purchase order as a template.
This is useful when often ordering the same items from the same supplier.
Purchase Order Expert:
Create a purchase order with improved decision making tools using either
minimum and maximum, or production schedule, both based on our previous
planning reorder functions, or then again the new and powerful sales history.
Reorder Using Minimum and Maximum:
This option generates a purchase order showing what should be reordered
so that the inventory does not stay under its pre-set minimum. It will
suggest the quantity to order in the buying format so that the inventory
gets as close as possible to its pre-set maximum without going over this
maximum.
Reorder Using Production Schedule:
This option generates a purchase order according to the information you
have entered within the production schedule option.
Reorder Using Sales History:
This very powerful new option generates a purchase order according to the
sales history. This tool calculates average of inventory item use, as
well as client and meal count for the last weeks, and prompts you with
the average client count or meals for the upcoming week. From the expected
number of clients or meals entered manually, it will generate purchase
orders.
