IPO is a tool
to help create Purchase Orders within and outside of MS RMS. How many times
have you heard "Can I just scan in my products when receiving?"
with IPO now you can. Also you may have come across the problems
of creating new products at time of ordering or at receiving,
IPO addresses these and other issues.
With IPO you
can create items at the time you create Purchase Orders with out
having to jump to different screens. Walk around with a PDC
(portable data collector) and collect items and quantities you
want to order without regard to particular supplier, IPO will
fiqure that out for you, just download, create and go! Many
businesses order new products on a regular basis and find it
easier to create new items at time of receiving due to much of
the product information is not known until product actually
arrives. With IPO you can scan in products and IPO will alert
and prompt you through a new item wizard for new products. (this
feature can be turned off for HQ based stores)
or
Compile list of items to order by copy-pasting upc codes from
your suppliers website into IPO. IPO will find match from within
your database or prompt you through a new item wizard.
Press Create and IPO will generate a PO in RMS for each
supplier!
Future enhancements will allow:
Generation of PO from Supplier based file...
Order requests...
