Once in this screen you must select the store which are located in. This is done by selecting on the icon on the right hand side of the page and selecting your store from the list. If a store has not been set then a question mark will be displayed. For this example my current store selected is "Rotorua".


Creating a Purchase Order

  1. Click on the "Create Single" link in the Purchase Orders option.

  2. A small select supplier window will be displayed to you. Start typing in the name of the supplier, the system will start searching using the characters entered. Once the supplier in question is found click on their name and the following screen will open.



  3. This screen will list all products currently linked to this supplier prior to starting this process that are not marked as hidden in the pos. To reduce the number of items that are linked to this supplier from being displayed you can filter the list by departments under the "Options" button.
  4. To order more of all or selected items in your list, simply enter the amount you wish to order for each item in the right hand field.
  5. Once complete, click on the "Options" button and then select "Save Order". You order will be saved, and you will be displayed a "Keying Reference" number. You should make a note of this number as a record. You order is now in a "Pre Auth" state, so it is deemed as incompleted at this stage.
  6. To complete this order, Click on the "List" link the Purchase Orders option.

  8. You can edit the qty ordered per line, add comments, and reject (cancel) the order and mark the order to a waiting state. Once marked as waiting the order cannot be edited again. To print the purchase order, select "View Order" to display it an separate screen and then print it using the print options in your web browser. "Email Order" is ticked and displays an email address is linked to this supplier.
  9. To send the order to your supplier select the option you want to use and then select the "Send Now" button. For this example I am using the "Email to Supplier" option and my order will be sent to the email address listed in the example screen shot.
