Overview


Excerpt

After a prebook is created the system automatically adds the items from the Prebook into a “needs” list of items that need to be purchased. 

As items from the "needs" or "purchasing" needs are added to a purchase order they are automatically removed from the “needs” list. This allows a company with multiple users in procurement, to purchase product only once.


In order to create purchase orders from Prebooks, there must be Prebooks created in the system.

Ui step

Click on the “Purchase Orders” tab and click on the “Add PO” sub-tab. Select one PO at a time.


Ui step

Enter the "Vendor" name purchases will be made from and the "Ship Date".


Ui step

  Click on the green button "Add Items". 


Ui step

 Once the user clicks on the "Add Items" button the system will show the Purchasing Needs window. By default, the system will hide all prebooks marked as Unable to source, Fill from Open Market or Prebook Completed. Nonetheless, the users will have the option to filter the prebooks in the purchase needs to see all Prebooks.


Ui step

Use the filters on top of the grid to filter the “needs” list (e.g. search for Standing Orders, Prebooks or specific ship dates).


Ui step

 Double click on the item that will be purchased. Another window will pop-up where the number of boxes and the unit cost can be entered. The system will automatically suggest the unit cost based on the company GPM and the freight for the port of origin of the selected farm.


Ui step

Once all details have been entered, click on the “Add” button. A message confirming the items have been added will pop up over the bottom right of the screen.


Ui step

The Purchase Order is now created. Click on the “Purchase Order Summary” tab to view the PO created and any other PO.

 

Warning

If you enable the setting Use standalone POs when creating POs linked to Prebooks, the system will link the POs created using the Single Mode with a PO already created as Standalone with the same Vendor, Ship Date, Locations (For Multi-Locations Companies) and Carrier (For companies with Inbound Truck Freight Active). This is for companies that want to send only one PO to the Vendor. To enable this option, please refer to Purchase Order Options.


Note

If you are not using Prebooks but still need to create Purchase Orders it is required to create Standaone Purchase Orders (PO’s that are not linked to a Prebook).
