Overview
The Purchase Order (PO) section rewards the you for maintaining an accurate Inventory
database. By keeping the On Hand field up to date in the inventory database, II will do
the following for you:
| track inventory items below/at their Order Pt and not Due In |
| Calculate the quantity of items Due Out in Sales Orders and Work Orders |
| group items (in the above) by the same supplier and create the required
purchase orders |
| items in the PO will contain the Order Qty value as specified below:
 | the value in the inventory Order Qty field |
| or |
| the economic order quantity meeting the Minimum order amount, Maximum
order amount and Order Multiple criteria as describe in the inventory database |
|
| flag printed and completed PO's |
| adjust each inventory record's Lead-time with a new weighted Lead-time of
received parts |
| adjust the Order Pt of received parts by comparing their lead time,
Minimum On Hand (safety stock), and average daily usage for the last six months |
| update the inventory database On Hand field for items that are received |
You may also 'manually' create a PO.
When browsing the list of items in the purchase order II will allow you to edit only
certain fields at certain times depending on the value of the 'printed' field for that PO:
| if printed then you can only edit the received column |
| if the po is not printed then you may edit the qty, and cost fields |
After printing a PO, II automatically updates the 'printed' field for that PO with .T.
(true). After printing a PO and you need to update the 'cost' or 'qty' field for that PO
you may manually change the printed field back to .F., to allow the proper editing.
