Purchase Orders

The Purchase Orders screen is where you enter, edit and review information about your purchase orders.  For information on how to create an audit trail around purchase order receipts please review the Warehouse Management article.

Purchase Order Fulfilment Status

You will see several types of fulfilment statuses on purchase orders:

• Created: The purchase order is ready to submit, or can be edited prior to submitting.
• Submitted: The purchase order has been placed and sent to the Supplier.
• Partially Fulfilled: Some products, not all, on purchase order have been received into the store.
• Fulfilled: The purchase order has been received into to the store; this will add the items in this purchase order to your inventory.
• Cancelled: The purchase order was created and then cancelled.

In addition to fulfilment status, there are optional fields that you may use to track information around payments and delivery of purchase orders.

• Payment Status: Unpaid, Partial Paid, or Paid
• Payment Method: Bank Transfer, Cash, Check, Credit Card, Debit Card, or Other.
• Expected Delivery Date: Enter the date that you expect to receive delivery of the goods.
• Payment Due: Enter the date that payment is due.  If the current date is past the payment due date the order will be tagged as "Overdue".
