Purchasing and receiving

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

MainBoss has detailed facilities for reporting which inventory items need to be restocked, for creating purchase orders, and for tracking shipments received. This section outlines the usual sequence of events for purchasing and receiving. For more information, see Purchase Orders.

At any point, you can make corrections. For example, you might prepare a "draft" version of a purchase order and submit it to your management for approval. If some items are not approved, you can remove those items from the purchase order before printing a copy and sending it to your supplier.

If your supplier tells you that some prices have been changed or that there will be extra charges (e.g. for faster delivery), you can add those charges to the purchase order. Finally, if some of the requested items cannot be supplied (or if you cancel your order and buy from someone else), you can make appropriate adjustments to MainBoss's records.
