Item Purchase Orders Workspace

Use this workspace to create and maintain item purchase orders for your vendors. In the Item Purchase Orders tab you enter general and account information about the order. When this is complete, press Return. Maconomy then verifies the information and opens for item entry in the Item Purchase Lines sub-tab.

To create an order, you first enter the number of the vendor. Maconomy verifies that the vendor exists, then retrieves information from the Vendor Information Card in the Accounts Payable module. Maconomy suggests this information in the corresponding fields in the item purchase order. You can change most of it.

In the Item Purchase Selection workspace, Maconomy can make an item purchase selection based on current stock, reorder level, and maximum stock for individual items. Maconomy automatically prepares an item purchase order that you can adjust and approve in this workspace.

You can use the Sales Order to Item Purchase Orders workspace to automatically create an item purchase order from a sales order. In that process, Maconomy converts sales units to purchase units. When you receive serial numbers for articles that have serial number control, Maconomy automatically transfers them to the Serial Number Entry workspace in the Sales Orders module. Any items that are on backorder are reserved for packing so that you are ready to print a packing slip for the sales order.
