Purchasing Inventory using the Inventory Purchasing Page

Select the Inventory Purchasing option from the main Inventory menu to open a sub-menu listing the available warehouses.

Select the All Warehouses selection on the menu to purchase inventory based on the stock of all warehouses. This option is useful if the purchasing is based on the stock of all warehouses and if all inventories are shipped to the same warehouse. The user selected the single warehouse -  General in the following example:

Note that the title bar identifies the selected warehouse. All the values such as Count, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders and On Hand will reflect the values for the selected warehouse rather than the values for the entire company. The ordering amount such as Minimum Inventory, Maximum Inventory and Order Amount is also based on the values entered within each warehouse. Note that the Order Amount can be within the Count tab of an inventory item with the warehouse set to ALL and this value will be copied to all warehouses that do not have a value.

The Order Quantity value is unique for each warehouse setting, including the All Warehouses option and will not be lost or changed if another warehouse is selected. The Order Quantity entered for a specific warehouse does not affect the Order Quantity when the All Warehouses option is selected.

A purchase order process is not dependent on the warehouse setting (review the Purchasing > Inventory Purchasing Page section for more details on the standard purchasing window and its features and processes).

To populate inventory purchasing data, click the Find (F5) button after every time a change is made in the window heading.
