Supplier Purchase Orders

[linnet27]

Hi

We are currently evaluating Actinic and are fairly confident it will do the job for us. However, one concern is purchase orders. We use several suppliers and want to be able to create purchase orders from the system and receive orders against them.

There is so much to take in at the moment so I appreciate I have probably missed something. Could anyone offer any advice or point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Hi Lynne,

There is a purchase order field that you can use on the website by activating it through 'Design | Text | Website (Cont) tab | Payment Details sub tab'. That allows your customers to enter a purchase order in the checkout stage. You would then find it on the 'Misc' tab of the downloaded order.

If I understand this correctly you want the software to be able to create reports for each supplier to order new stock (?). If that is the case then I'm afraid that Actinic cannot do this, although you may be able to create a variable for the suppliers of each product and run a query on the database itself in Access. Obviously, backup your database beforehand. If I've misunderstood then please expand on what you mean here.

Hi Tracey

Thanks for your reply. It is supplier purchase orders we are looking for. However, we are now evaluating Actinic EPOS which appears to do what we want to do and possibly more.

This is a very steep learning curve, but hopefully it will be worth it!!
