Procedure documentationCreating a Purchase Order Automatically from a Suggested Order

Procedure

Store Manager can create a purchase order for you, containing items whose current on-hand amount is below the minimum acceptable on-hand amount. Store Manager only includes items in the suggested order that you have not already placed on another order.

After you create a purchase order from a suggested order, you can modify and issue it. For information about modifying a purchase order, see Modifying a Purchase Order. For information about issuing a purchase order, see Issuing a Purchase Order.

To generate a suggested order and create a purchase order:

  1. On the Main Menu, click Inventory.

  2. Click Suggested Orders. A dialog box appears asking you to confirm how you want to create the order.

  3. Click a button. If you click Department, you must select a department from the corresponding drop-down list.

  4. Click OK. The dialog box closes. The Suggested Order Statistics window appears.

  5. Click OK. A purchase order is generated.
