Order Product
General
This function enables you
to make and record purchasing decisions for the stock items in your
product list. There are four screen tabs in this function.
-
Items to Purchase (Low Level)
lets you make purchasing
decisions based on those products that are at or below their
established low level settings.
-
Single Product lets you make
purchases of products by stock code.
-
Special Criteria enables you to create a list of
products for purchase based on one or more criteria, including
supplier, % of low level, and "mix and match" group.
-
Pending Purchase
provides a list of those products that have been purchased using
the three options above but have not yet been compiled and printed
as purchase orders.
Multiple
users can use this screen simultaneously to purchase products.
When
a user creates purchase orders, there is the option to create
purchase orders for all users or the individual user.
Note: A product's low level
is updated when a purchase order for the product is created. It is
therefore possible to have multiple users purchasing the same
product, using the same low level purchasing criteria.
This
can result in over purchasing.
When there are multiple users
purchasing simultaneously, it is recommended to use the Special Criteria or
Single
Product tabs to purchase products.
