Sage 500 (MAS 500) Purchase Order - features, benefits and reports

With Purchase Order, you can simplify your purchasing and receiving processes, while ensuring greater order accuracy. You'll enjoy efficient, flexible purchasing workflows, because you can create a requisition quickly and easily without prior knowledge of your vendors or buying practices. Plus, Purchase Order tightly controls buyers' spending limits and provides complete audit tracking for maximum accountability.

When purchases are received, the system can automatically capture important vendor metrics: info on correct item and quantities shipped, damaged goods, even labeling and packaging. Then you can view a Vendor Performance report by combining this information with delivery timing and cost variance data. Maximize warehouse efficiencies by guiding receiving personnel to designated preferred stock put-away bins.

Use the power of automation to minimize costly quantity and pricing errors, as well as errors in receipt of goods. Create vouchers that automatically default from the related purchase order. Tie a purchase order to a sales order so incoming products are correctly allocated to your priority customers. You'll save time and maximize productivity by using the system's extensive drill-down and drill-around capabilities to track transactions back to their origins.
