Purchasing the right amount of stock and getting it into the
warehouse at the right time can be a very difficult thing.
Well it could be, if you are not using OrderWise Purchasing!
OrderWise Purchasing is designed to simplify the complex and seemingly endless task of ordering the right goods, at the right price, at the right time.
Every sales order entered into OrderWise Sales, combined with demands from other areas in OrderWise such as OrderWise Works Order Processing, is checked against your current stock levels and desired stock levels. This produces a simple and accurate report of goods that require replenishment, all sorted under the correct supplier.
This report can be converted directly into purchase orders for your approval and, if required, an official purchase order document can quickly and easily be produced.
OrderWise Purchasing supports Back to Back ordering (Direct Orders) for sales orders where the goods should be shipped directly from the supplier.
Like all layouts in OrderWise, the Purchase Order can be printed onto plain paper and can contain your colour company logo, colour quality marks and other colour business graphics; making for a truly stunning document that can be printed, emailed or faxed directly to the supplier.
OrderWise Purchasing supports the ability to accumulate orders with a particular supplier over a period of time. This method can be very useful, particularly with regards to lowering delivery costs.
OrderWise Purchasing can also incorporate the costs of shipping, duty, storage etc. into the cost of the product, with a view to providing a more accurate costing for a product. This can help when importing goods where the duty and shipping costs can be quite high.
'There are two ways to make more profit in business. One is to sell more, the other is to buy more effectively. OrderWise will help you achieve both!'
Ordering efficiently also makes sense when placing an order -
why not order goods that are just about to reach their minimum
stock level, as well as the ones that already have? OrderWise
Purchasing can alert you to these products whilst creating a
purchase order for a supplier.
It's one thing ordering goods from a supplier, but controlling
the receipt of them is something else. OrderWise Purchasing
can tell you which orders are due in and those that are already
late, ready for you to chase up via the supplier directly.
Once the goods are received (through OrderWise Goods
In) purchase invoices can be recorded against the purchase
order for easy viewing and reporting. Many existing users of
OrderWise have found this feature invaluable, as it provides a
simple and fast way of viewing all the invoices received for a
purchase order. Furthermore, OrderWise Purchasing enables
you to see if an invoice has already been received for a purchase
order. This innovative feature has prevented many users from
paying duplicated (not necessarily identical) supplier invoices.
Typically, these invoices can be passed directly to your accounts software (or exported for use elsewhere) via a single button press through OrderWise Invoicing.
