Auto Generate Purchase Orders

entrée can automatically generate purchase orders for you based upon on-hand levels, turns, lead time, order points, pallet configuration, cubes, gross weight and other key factors. This can be accomplished by acquiring sales information from selected invoices (a date range that you specify) or from past sales history. This section will detail how to use the automatic purchase order system.

 

Auto Generate Purchase Orders will support the use of System Option #60 - "Use last vendor cost on P.O.s" when enabled in the System Preferences > System Options Tab.

 

The "Exclude from Auto PO Past Sales" option located in Customer Maintenance on the Miscellaneous 1 tab is used to exclude specific customers from Auto PO generation.

 

This utility will generate a Purchase Order using the Monetary Exchange feature when a vendor uses a different currency. The Monetary Exchange feature will establish the default "Unit Cost" value for the individual line items and show the unit cost in the currency of the vendor.
