Purchasing / Ordering from Vendors/Suppliers

The Vendor/Purchasing Module allows you to select items you wish to purchase and gather them together on one window where you enter quantities and delivery dates required and process the purchase order.

You can interrupt this process at any time, close down the system and return to it in future and items previously selected for purchasing will still be waiting in your ordering window.

Even after an order has been processed you can re-open it and add/remove items and change order quantities.

Each supplier in your database has a separate ordering 'basket' so you can switch suppliers and complete one order while still part way through processing an order to another supplier.

To begin select 'Purchasing > Ordering' from the main menu.

The window shown on the following page appears.

Note for users of miniMRP v2: In version 2 of miniMRP the vendor and all inventory items had to exist already in your inventory before you could create a new purchase order. In this new version 3 you can create the vendor and create new inventory items during the ordering process.
