Purchase Orders allow you generate a list of required items for customer orders and replenishment stock.
You can generate Purchase Orders prior to ordering from suppliers; on a predefined schedule; for sold stock; items ordered by customers that were out of stock in your store at the time, or for items out of stock which are required for services.
Generating Purchase Orders automatically is faster than manually compiling a list; provides the most accurate reflection of your stock requirements; allows for accurate update of cost prices and stock levels, and generates a record of the order that can be exported then imported into the suppliers B2B / ordering system.
