Simply Your Purchasing Process

Every time you order goods from your vendors, contracts to buy and contracts to sell are created. The Purchase Order module for Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP systems helps you keep accurate records of these very important transactions. With every order, you need to specify (and keep track of) shipping method, date required, and the name of the person with whom the order was placed. In addition, you need to confirm the quantities ordered and price per item. This module streamlines and organizes the entire purchasing process.

When your on-hand quantity falls below a specified minimum level, purchase orders can be automatically generated to ensure that you never run out of key items. You can process partial receipts, update your inventory records when goods are received, and monitor cost variances between goods received and goods invoiced.

When this module is integrated with the Accounts Payable, Inventory Management, and Sales Order modules, you will have a comprehensive, fully integrated purchasing system. Receipt of goods will automatically adjust inventory quantities and produce a Back Order Fill Report. Furthermore, invoices received will automatically update Accounts Payable records. With the implementation of the Purchase Order module, you will be able to make more informed purchasing decisions, and all of your purchasing and receiving information will be readily available as needed.
