Purchase Order - Open Entry
Once a purchase order is started, more items can be added either manually or automatically until you decide to process it and place the order with the vendor.

Rapid / Accurate Receiving
Several tools are available to assure that quantities received on purchase orders are accurate. To minimize human error one can use scanners, hand held collectors, and import files. Other visual effects are helpful. A purchase order can be saved for review before processing. And receiving can be done in stages, perhaps one box at a time.

Automatic Handling of Vendor Backorders
If a product is not yet received, PFW retains the item on the original purchase order. If the item is never going to be shipped, the item can be removed from the purchase order or the purchase order voided in full. The item needing to be ordered can be sent back to the order list in search of another vendor.

Immediate Notification of Cost Changes
When vendor costs fluctuate, PFW allows for immediate changes to your selling prices and printing of price labels to reflect those changes. You may choose to update vendor cost and/or inventory item last order cost.

Support of Special Pricing
If your vendor sells you some product at greatly reduced prices (trade shows, promotions, close-outs), PFW will track the true FIFO costs and profits and you can choose to update or not update either/both vendor and item last cost values.

Purchase Order History / Modification
Purchase Orders can be reviewed, reprinted, and modified to some extent. For example, if you learn later that the cost of an inventory item is different than originally thought, you can edit the PO and change the cost of the item. This cost is automatically applied to un-sold items. As for sold items, there is a "cost verifier" feature to adjust invoice history so that past profits will be correctly calculated and reported
