Purchase Orders

ACCPAC Advantage Series Purchase Orders automates issuing and managing purchase orders and receiving inventory items.

When combined with Accounts Payable, Inventory Control and Order Entry, ACCPAC Advantage Series™ Purchase Orders provides a comprehensive, integrated purchasing system. Receipts automatically update inventory and invoices for the received items, and the invoices are automatically transferred to Accounts Payable. Purchase orders can be automatically created for items on sales orders in Order Entry and automatically shipped from the vendor to the customer. A printable Shippable Backorders report helps identify orders that can be completed. E-mail based workflow for requisition approval is built in using a VBA macro. Because it runs through a standard Web-browser, you can handle all of your purchase order processing from anywhere you can use an Internet browser.
