The S2K Enterprise Purchasing Software application is designed to facilitate and simplify the purchase order procedure. Purchasing can update orders and receipts of inventory, updating the quantities on order and on hand in the inventory control program. Invoice information is automatically transferred to accounts payable.

Purchasing allows warehouse personnel to check goods received against goods ordered, using the vendor's invoice to confirm prices, discounts and terms. Invoice quantities can be compared to receipts and help prevent shortages and improper billings that may cost you business and money.

The suggested order report can assist buyers by providing a list of individual items that should be ordered due to customer back orders or due to minimum stock requirements. The receipt of inventory items automatically produces a back order release report showing what orders can now be filled. With purchase orders, your personnel will be able to make better purchasing decisions and insure a balanced inventory.
