Purchasing is designed to help businesses control purchases and receivings.

New purchase requests (unapproved PO's) are entered with system-assigned or user-entered document numbers. Optionally print PO forms when you post.

CounterPoint automatically updates on-order quantities for items. New vendors and items may be added on-the-fly. Vendor item records can be automatically created and updated.

During receiving, PO's may be retrieved by PO number, vendor, or other keyword fields. A PO may be received in full, or only selected lines may be received. Unreceived goods can be backordered or cancelled. You can add additional lines or change, reissue, or reprint the PO. Merchandise that arrives without a PO may be entered on-the-fly during receiving.

To simplify reorders, historical PO's may be copied into new purchase orders.

An item may have unlimited vendors, each with its own cost and purchasing unit. Costs and quantities may be entered on a PO and printed on forms. Vendor items are automatically defined as part of normal Inventory and Purchasing usage.

Full support is provided for gridded (color/size) items when entering PO's, entering receivings, and printing reports.

Purchasing Advice automatically calculates restocking orders.

Purchasing Advice calculates the quantities to reorder based on current inventory levels, commitments, backorders, open PO’s, desired stocking levels, vendor multiples, and/or vendor minimum order requirements.

Reorder quantities may be calculated using the Min/Max method. The Min/Max method orders an item up to its desired maximum stocking level when it falls to or below its minimum (reorder) level.

Miscellaneous Charges
back to top
Extra charges (for freight, etc.) may be entered during receivings and optionally included in the landed cost. You can enter up to five separate miscellaneous charges which can be allocated based on the weight, quantity, cost, or cube (cubic volume) of the items received.

Electronic Orders
back to top
You may print paper PO's for your vendors or output text files suitable for use in electronic ordering. You may save PO's as PDF files to fax or email to vendors. Full EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) typically requires use of third-party translator and communications software.

Accounts Payable Interface
back to top
Received PO's may be vouchered directly into a third-party Accounts Payable system. Invoices may be vouchered to the vendor and a report of unvouchered receivings is provided. Interfaces to more than a dozen A/P packages are provided.

Views and Reporting
back to top
A detailed history of PO receivings and cancellations is retained for viewing and reporting. Open PO's may be viewed or printed showing quantity ordered, received, and expected. The Open PO Report shows outstanding PO's and can be printed by PO number, vendor, delivery date, etc.
