Purchase Orders

The ABECAS Insight Purchase Orders module is an integral part of a sales management and production management system. Integrated with the required Accounts Payable module, PO provides the management tool you need to organize your orders, reorders and vendor payments. It provides management reports on your vendor usage and purchase and receipt information in summary or detail.

The Purchase Orders and AP modules may standalone or integrate with other ABECAS Insight modules. PO works best when integrated with the Inventory Management (IM) module. It assists you in managing the purchase of non-inventory and IM inventory items through the issuance of purchase orders. Through the use of requisitions, purchase information may be entered before the creation of an actual purchase order. Purchase orders may be manually entered or automatically generated based on the previously entered/generated order information.

When orders are received, they update the on-hand status and purchase history fields in the IM module. When the invoice is received, the inventory cost information may be adjusted and the invoice amount transferred to the AP module for payment purposes.

The Purchase Orders and Accounts Payable modules share vendors. The PO module vendor file includes shipping instructions, taxes, acknowledgment, notification and other information that will default, saving time.

The Purchase Orders module also integrates with the following modules: General Ledger, Cost Accounting, and Bill of Materials.
