Introduction

The Purchase Orders module within BusinessCraft allows the creation of Purchase Orders either manually or generated from source information, such as Requisitions, Back Orders and Estimates.

Purchase Orders provide an Issue option which is an approval step and status that permits the Purchase Order to be processed in other modules.

Purchase Orders can be received within the Purchasing module or optionally received and matched in one step in the Accounts Payable module. When Purchase Orders are fully received, the Status changes to Locked. Full receiving, line receiving and partial line receiving is supported, including serial tracking and warranty management for serial tracked items.

Purchase Order Tolerances control receipt and matching differences whilst Thresholds control auto closing (Lock Status) of Purchase Orders not fully matched.

For customers using the Margin Declare process in Job Costing, the Purchase Orders module contains comprehensive Extra to Schedule capability to control additional expenditure not already accounted for as part of Margin Declare. Extra to Schedule is fully integrated in the Purchase Order/ Accounts Payable process flow.

Purchase Orders/Lines can be cancelled and for customers using Margin Declare, cancellations can make the amount cancelled available for additional purchases.

The Purchase Orders module is a fully integrated module within BusinessCraft including Accounts Payable, Job Costing, Inventory, Requisitions, Bills of Materials, General Ledger, Shop Floor Control, Payroll and Order Entry.

Transactions

Receipts

The Receipts process in Purchase Orders is used to record the receipt of goods and services on Purchases Orders in a timely manner. For organisations that do not carry out the receipt process until an invoice is received from the supplier, subject to Purchasing Setup, Receiving can be carried out within Accounts Payable as part of the Invoice entry and Matching process.

Go to Purchase Orders > Transactions > Receipts and the Receive Purchase Items screen is displayed. Enter/select the Purchase Order to be received:

P/O Number	Enter/select the Purchase Order number to be received.
Vendor Code	The Vendor Code is displayed.
Name	The Vendor Name is displayed.
Default Receipt Date	The date the goods/services were received. Defaults to today.
Delivery Docket	Enter the Suppliers Delivery Docket Number for the delivery received.
Status	The Purchase Order Status. Defaults to IP but can be changed.
Order Complete	Indicates whether the Purchase Order has been fully received (Y) or not (N). Updates automatically but can be changed if necessary. For example, the Order is Complete, but subsequent deliveries are received and it is decided to receive the goods.
Remark 1, 2, 3	The Purchase Order Remarks are displayed but can be changed if necessary.
Desc (F6)	Use the Desc (F6) to display the Purchase Order Specifications for the Purchase Order Header.

Rcv Lines (F5)

After ensuring the Default Receipt Date is correct and entering a Delivery Docket, use the Rcv Lines (F5) function key to carry out the receiving process. The Purchase Order Receipts screen opens and displays the Purchase Order Lines for the Purchase Order:

• Use the Full Receive option in the Menu Sidebar to receive the full quantity of all Lines on the Purchase Order.

• Use the Receive option in the Menu Sidebar to receive the full quantity of the selected line on the Purchase Order.

• Use the Enquire option in the Menu Sidebar to receive a partial quantity of the selected line on the Purchase Order.

• Use the Jump option in the Menu Sidebar to move to a specific Purchase Order Line where the Purchase Order has many lines.

• Barcode – No longer supported.

Partial Receipts and Closing Purchase Order Lines Short

If the Enquire option in the Menu Sidebar is used to receive a partial quantity for the selected Purchase Order Line, the Purchase Order Receipts screen is displayed with the cursor positioned at the Qty Received field:

The only fields that can be changed are those in the panel, the remainder are informational:

Qty Received	Enter the Partial Quantity received. This could be an initial partial quantity received, a subsequent partial quantity received to complete the order or a partial quantity received with no further deliveries expected (close the Purchase Order short).
Line Complete	Indicates if this Partial Quantity received will complete the Purchase Order Line (Y) or not (N). The field updates automatically, however where a partial quantity is received with no further deliveries expected (close the Purchase Order short), change the field to Y.
Rcv Unit Cost	The Rcv Unit Cost defaults from the Purchase Order Line but can be changed if necessary.
Rcv Total Cost	The Rcv Total Cost is calculated using the Qty Received and Rcv Unit Cost. The Total can be changed and the Rcv Unit Cost is back calculated.
Date Received	The Date Received defaults from the Default Receipt Date on the Receive Purchase Items screen, but can be changed.
Comment	A Comment can be entered. This is of particular use when closing a Purchase Order Line short.
Del Doc	A Delivery Docket can be recorded specifically for this Purchase Order Line Receipt if required.
Bins/Batches (F5)	Only functional where Multiple Bins within Locations are configured - the same item can be stored in more than one bin within the one location – used to record the bin where the goods will be stored if not the primary bin.

Allocating Receipts to Back Orders

When carrying out receiving and there are back orders for the item being received, a prompt will be displayed to allocate the items received to the back order. The prompt will cycle until the full quantity of items received have been received to any available back orders. This serves two purposes:

• Alerts the user carrying out the receipt to not store the goods but instead keep them in the receiving area ready for immediate despatch (Cross Docking

• Updates the back orders so that reports used to identify back orders that can be despatched will reflect that the goods have been received and can be despatched.

As receipts are carried out the Quantity O/S reduces. In this example, both lines have been fully received:

Exit the Purchase Order Receipts screen to return to the Receive Purchase Items screen and note that because all lines have been fully received, the Order complete field has changed to Y and the Purchase Order is Locked:

Receipts and Updates after a Purchase Order has been Locked

If necessary, further limited updates can be made to the Purchase Order Receipt – changes cannot be made to receipt transactions already processed.

For example, a subsequent delivery of goods are received above the quantity order within the receiving tolerance and it is decided to receive the goods. The additional receipt can be carried out by changing the Order Complete field to N and then using the Rcv Lines (F5) function key followed by the Enquiries option in the Menu Sidebar to record a partial receipt.

For example, a receipt has been carried out in error and the quantity received needs to be reversed in full or in part. The adjustment can be carried out by changing the Order Complete field to N and then using the Rcv Lines (F5) function key followed by the Enquiries option in the Menu Sidebar to record a negative receipt to make the required adjustment.

Invoices

The Invoices process in Purchase Orders is used to match supplier invoices to Purchase Order Receipts where the Accounts Payable Module is not being used in BusinessCraft. Customers using the Accounts Payable module in BusinessCraft should not use this screen and instead go to Accounts Payable > Transactions > Invoice Entry.

If this method of matching is required, go to Purchase Orders > Transactions > Invoices and the Match Purchase Invoices to Receipts screen is displayed. Enter/select the Purchase Order to be received:

P/O Number	Enter/select the Purchase Order number to be matched.

Status	The Purchase Order Status. Defaults to IP but can be changed.
Remark 1, 2, 3	The Purchase Order Remarks are displayed but can be changed if necessary.
Desc (F6)	Use the Desc (F6) to display the Purchase Order Specifications for the Purchase Order Header.

Match (F5)

After ensuring the Invoice Details have been recorded correctly, use the Match (F5) function key to carry out the matching process. The Match Purchase Order Receipts screen opens and displays the Purchase Order Lines for the Purchase Order available for matching:

• Use the Full Match option in the Menu Sidebar to match the full quantity of all Receipt Lines.

• Use the Match Line option in the Menu Sidebar to match the full quantity of the selected Receipt Line.

• Use the Enquire option in the Menu Sidebar to match a partial quantity/amount for the selected Receipt Line.

Partial Matching

If the Enquire option in the Menu Sidebar is used to match a partial quantity/amount for the selected Receipt Line, the Match Purchase Order Receipts screen is displayed with the cursor positioned at the Qty to Invoice field:

The only fields that can be changed are those in the panel, the remainder are informational:

Qty to Invoice	Enter the Partial Quantity to be matched. This could be an initial partial quantity matched or a subsequent partial quantity matched to complete matching.
Inv Unit Cost	The Inv Unit Cost defaults from the Purchase Order Receipt Line but can be changed if necessary.
Inv Total Cost	The Inv Total Cost is calculated using the Qty to Invoice and Inv Unit Cost. The Total can be changed and the Inv Unit Cost is back calculated.
Date Invoiced	The Date Invoiced defaults from the Invoice Date on the Match Purchase Receipts to Invoices screen, but can be changed.

As matching is carried out the Quantity Unmatched reduces. In this example, both lines have been fully matched:

Exit the Match Purchase Order Receipts screen to return to the Match Purchase Invoices to Receipts screen and note that because all lines have been fully matched, the Matched Amount equals the Invoice Amount and the Remaining Amount is Nil :
