Integration with Accounts Payable

 

Accounts Payable is installed whenever Purchasing is installed. Purchasing uses the Supplier table. Purchase Order Receipt transactions are entered using Options | Enter Receipt... in the Purchase Order Entry and Maintenance task.

 

These Purchase Order Receipt transactions contain Supplier and General Ledger Account distribution information that is directly available to the Enter Payables transactions task.

 

When the vendor’s invoice is received and to be posted you can choose Options | Purchase Order Receipt and select the PoReceiptID. The system will then set up all the applicable information for you. This eliminates the need for you to key that data in again.

 

Integration with Inventory

 

Inventory is installed whenever Purchasing is installed. Purchasing uses the Product, ProductGroup, ProductGroupWarehouse, Warehouse and ProductWarehouse tables.

 

Purchase Order Receipt transactions update the ProductWarehouse table and reside in the PoReceipt transaction tables where they are available for other Inventory functions.

 

Integration with Job Costing

 

When Job Costing is installed the JobID and CostID are available for each Detail line item to specify a particular Job and Cost center as appropriate. This enables one Purchase Order to apply to multiple Jobs and Cost centers.

 

These JobID and CostID line item details are inherited by the Purchase Order Receipts and subsequently flow through into Accounts Payable. Those distribution line items having a JobID and CostID are reflected in the Job Cost summaries.

 

Integration with Bill of Materials

 

When Bill of Materials is installed, Purchase Orders whose SupplierID is "internal" and whose Explode request field is checked are available to the Explode Bill of Materials Demand task.
