The focus of this module is on issuing Purchase Orders and receiving against them using Receiving Tickets. Mastery of this module will enhance your ability to manage your consumables inventory (especially costs) and to track tools and equipment from point of purchase to retirement.
The Purchasing & Receiving module consists of several features that work together to make purchasing and then receiving tools and consumables quick and easy.
The following can quickly be added to a Purchase order:
Preferred Vendor information (i.e. address and shipping method)
Item details (i.e. manufacturer, model, cost, etc)
This information is used to receive tools and materials into Stock locations or drop-shipped to Projects. The item details and cost will also create records for new, unique tools.
Note: Many of the KPI values, as well as information on the records (e.g., Purchase Costs) are generated from items acquired using Purchase Orders.
