Purchase Order Generation
Generating purchase orders is a snap with PO Builder. Basically, you ‘drag’ a node from the materials tree and ‘drop’ it on the purchasing window pane. PO Builder does the rest. The node you choose to drag depends on the scope of what you want to purchase. For example, if you have organized the materials tree by vendor, and you want to purchase ALL needed materials that are supplied by that vendor, simply drag the Vendor node over to the purchasing window pane. Each material in the materials tree listed under that vendor will become a PO Item on the purchase order. However, lets say you want to limit the PO to only those materials needed by a particular work order. In this case, you’ll drag just the work order node over to the purchasing window pane, limiting the purchase to just those materials listed on the work order.
