Maintaining Automatic Purchase Order Lines

Once you have generated the list of items to be included in the automatic purchase order batch, you need to check and confirm those items and quantities before completing the batch. You can add items to the batch, change item details (e.g. quantities) and delete items you don't want included.

1. Create a new automatic purchase order batch, or load an existing batch.

Refer to "Creating a New Automatic Purchase Order Batch" or "Recalling an Automatic Purchase Order Batch".

2. Complete the fields on the Automatic Purchase Order Header screen.

Refer to "Maintaining the Automatic Purchase Order Header".

3. Generate the list of items to order.

Refer to "Generating the List of Items to Order".

Micronet displays the Automatic Purchase Order screen.

Technical Tip 2.8 Feature In Micronet 2.8, there are additional columns on this screen, providing more information about the items to be ordered. These include the item description, the supplier, the quantity on hand, the warehouse free stock levels, and the minimum and maximum stock figures.

4. If you want to load items to be purchased into the batch from a handheld device (e.g. a P460 scanner), refer to "Automatic Purchase Order - Edit - Load Order from Hand Held".

5. To add or maintain:

• items to be purchased from a supplier, refer to "Maintaining Purchase Order Items"
• items to be transferred from another warehouse with excess stock, refer to "Maintaining Transfer Items".
