If you use Inventory Control:
- Purchase Orders displays item numbers, inventory locations, and price list information from Inventory Control when you enter transactions. If you use the Allow Receipt Of Non-stock Items in Inventory Control, you can also use non-stock items in Purchase Orders transactions.
- Optional field information from inventory items will appear by default in P/O transaction detail lines if you use the same optional fields in both programs.
- Purchase Orders transactions are processed by Day End Processing in Inventory Control.
- You can use the Create POs From I/C screen to create purchase orders from the reorder quantities information entered for items in Inventory Control.
At posting, Purchase Orders transactions affect Inventory Control item quantities as follows:
- Purchase orders increase the item quantities on purchase order in Inventory Control.
- Receipts increase quantities on hand in Inventory Control and decrease quantities on purchase order, if a purchase order is specified on the receipt.
- Returns of items to inventory decrease item quantities on hand in Inventory Control.
During posting or day-end processing (depending on when you do item costing in Inventory Control):
- Item costing information is updated in Inventory Control.
- Statistics and history are updated in both Purchase Orders and Inventory Control (if you keep history and statistics in both programs).
Printing item labels
When you specify a number of labels for inventory items on Purchase Orders receipts, the number is used by the I/C Item Labels screen to determine how many labels to print for each item received. If you change the number of item labels for a detail on a previously posted Purchase Orders receipt and you have not yet printed the labels, the number of labels is updated in Inventory Control.
