Purchasing Module
Purchase Orders and Non-Stock Purchase Orders track purchasing in the system.
When the stock is to be marked up by transport, duty and other costs,
- use Simple Landed Costing if there are few costs and they are applied based on value
- use full Landed Costing if you have many costs and wish to apply them using value, weight, volume or a manual spread of costs.
Entering Purchase Orders is made easy:
- The system remembers all items this supplier has provided for you previously and provides them in a drop down list.
- Lead time and quarantine time are looked for on the Article and if no value then Supplier defaults are used
- History is available on the supplier and also on the Article
Forecasting
Purchase Orders quantities and expected dates are used - there are a couple of methods of doing forecasting
- Simple time based Forecasting
- Complex Sell rate based Forecasting
Intercompany
When trading between your own companies - the Host Company is the Debtor and hence is automatically eliminated from consolidation reports. An inter-company Purchase Order will auto-create a matching sales order when the status moves from Plan Status.
