Purchase Order
Pull It All Together With Purchasing
Canopy’s Purchasing module allows easy entry of purchase orders either manually or automatically. You can keep purchasing history for as long as you wish.
Use Purchase Order Entry or the Purchase Advice Report to create a purchase order. Available product information includes current inventory levels for each product, current customer demand, previous sales history, reorder quantity, critical quantity, packed by, brand, last cost, market cost, last three order quantities, units of measure, and dates that each product was purchased. An Order Guide can be maintained for each vendor and used to quickly create a purchase order.
Assign products to your Purchasing Agents and control their purchasing with the Purchase Order Approval options. Purchase orders can be printed, faxed, emailed, or sent electronically using our optional EDI module.
Use Purchase Order Charges such as freight, fuel surcharges, and inspection fees to add miscellaneous costs onto a purchase order. These costs are then allocated against the products on the purchase order to maintain a true landed cost. Use vendor promotions and rebates to take advantage of and track vendor deals.
