Purchase Order Work Flow
The graphic below illustrates the workflow of a purchase order from creation to
close.
Create Automatically Generated Purchase Order Numbers
Each purchase order you create will be assigned a unique identifier. You can
either enter this number manually each time you create a new purchase order, or
you can create a template that the software will use to automatically generate a
number for you. On the Define PO Number Format screen (Main
Window>Receive/Pick>Number Formats>PO Number), InventoryControl
allows you to enter custom text, dates and/or counters, in any combination, to
create a unique identifier that is meaningful to your business.
