Purchase orders

The Purchase orders module allows you to:

Individuals, business units or departments can have the authority to either:

You can select the supplier from the current supplier list or create a new supplier when creating the purchase order. If required, you can describe and cost each item as you enter the purchase order.

Purchase orders can be manually receipted or their receipt can be automated with the processing of the suppliers invoice for the goods using the Creditors Invoice Entry function.

Business units

You can create different ranges of order numbers for different business units. Usually, one business unit exists for each stock location. However, for purchase ordering purposes, you can define as many business units as required. You must link appropriate users to each business unit with a default business unit defined if they belong to more than one.

If purchase orders are used in a business unit that sells the items that they purchase, you can define the stock’s item code on each line of the order.

Business units are set up in Synergetic Financial Configuration. See Synergetic Financial Configuration - Business Units - Purchase Orders sub-tab in the Finance manual. You define a code, description and the name and address of the business unit. You can use these details to print on your purchase order stationery.
