Warehouse Scheduler - Purchase Orders (v2.8)

Purchase orders are created in Micronet either manually (see "Inventory – Purchase Order Creation") or automatically (see "Inventory - Automatic Purchase Orders"). When either type of purchase order is created and posted, you can view the details on the Warehouse Scheduler - Purchase Orders tab. This provides a single location where you can quickly check the status of outstanding purchase orders. You can also change the expected delivery date.

In addition, the Purchase Order inquiry provides information about the purchase order including items and quantities ordered.
