Instant Purchase Order

This can be accessed from two different places. In Inventory Maintenance, you can go to the tools tab and hit the instant Purchase Order button; this will lock the instant to the specific item that you were on when you entered the screen. Alternatively, if you have the item number, you can enter the screen from the main invoice screen -> Actions -> Instant Purchase Orders.

On this screen, you'll need to fill out a few small pieces of information - Item number if you didn't come in through inventory management, check the used box if you're getting in used items, quantity received, and the cost per. You can select a vendor to associate this order with, or none to associate it with no vendor.

Once you've done that, hit receive to complete the instant purchase order.

Note that there is an option to immediately place this item on the invoice, or to track serial numbers for items that are received these way. Find these options from the invoice screen to tools -> options under the inventory section.
