Purchase Order Control
ProteusŪ Purchase Order Processing module helps you to obtain the best purchase prices by holding pricing and discount schedules for each supplier. The system allows you to hold alternative suppliers for goods, so that you can adopt a second-source policy, having an alternative strategy in the event of supply problems. ProteusŪ suggests which products are required, in what quantities and when, taking into account forward and back sales orders, stock availability and undelivered purchase orders. ProteusŪ Purchase Order Control handles the buying process from generating purchase requests, or initiating orders to the receipt of those goods. Purchase invoice matching enables the quantities received to be compared to those invoiced and any price discrepancies are highlighted for action. Based upon order frequency, stock levels and previous sales history, the system can automatically generate purchase orders or requests. Once a purchase order has been raised, the on-order stock balances are updated so that other users of the system know what is due to arrive and when. This helps to reduce lost sales, and enables your customers to be provided with accurate and up to date information regarding ProteusŪ Purchase Consignment Management and Landed Cost module provides the ability to build an advance profile of the purchase orders and order lines included within an expected Consignment.
