Purchasing Enhancements

Once your purchase orders are created, entrée can automatically submit the PO to Dot Foods in EDI format providing you with a simple and easy one click ordering / acknowledgment system.

▪Your buyers can manually create a purchase order for Dot Foods. When they are finished, they will be prompted to submit the PO to Dot Foods using the EDI system. In one step, Dot Foods will immediately have your order, and you will receive an acknowledgment in return.

▪The automatic purchase order generation system within entrée will collect all items that need to be ordered from Dot Foods for a given date range. This will include special orders of non-stock items from open customer invoices.  Besides open customer invoices, this procedure can look at other data such as below minimum stock level, etc. to create suggested purchase quantities. entrée will automatically create a purchase order from this data which you can review and edit before your EDI submission to Dot Foods.

▪Any invoices that have drop ship items on them will have a single purchase order created for each customer with the proper delivery address.

If you would like to manually create a PO in entrée find the desired Dot Foods vendor in Create Purchase Order. Then the Dot Pre-Order message box will display if there are open pre-order items. See the Build & Export Purchase Orders section for more information.
