Overview of Purchase Order Entry/Maintenance

During End-of-Day processing and during on-demand stock replenishment, the system identifies products in need of replenishment. In some cases, the system creates a replenishment transfer order to move products from the replenishment warehouse to the warehouse that needs the products. In other cases, the system creates pending purchase orders (POs) for needed products and places the POs on the Replenishment Action Report. The report is sorted by vendor, and each PO directed to a vendor is given its own PO number. A recommended order amount is included for each item. Your company's purchasing manager analyzes this report and decides which POs to edit, activate, and send to the vendor.

The Purchase Order Entry/Maintenance option in Vision Back Office enables you to edit and activate POs.

Note: You are not committed to order any product that appears on the Replenishment Action Report. It is merely a record of pending POs that you may or may not choose to activate (or maintain) to turn a PO into a buy.
