Why:
Purchase orders can be created to link sublet (subcontract) work with a repair order and to record the sublet costs. A purchase order document can be produced to give to the supplier to guarantee payment up to an authorised level of expenditure.
Where:
From the Workshop Order View, highlight the workshop order you want to work with and right click then select Purchase Orders. Alternatively highlight the workshop order and select Order > Purchase Orders from the menu.
How to Create Workshop Purchase Orders:
Click New to create a new purchase order associated with the order. Enter supplier details and check the Print flag to create a purchase order print. Any sublet operations on the order will be listed for selection in the Operation list box. The Cost Value entered will be printed on the purchase order as an authorised level of expenditure for the supplier. The Sales Value is not printed.
Until the purchase order has been confirmed, the associated workshop order cannot be invoiced. If invoicing is attempted before confirming all purchase orders with an order, an error message is displayed ‘Outstanding Purchase Orders exist. These must be confirmed before Invoicing’. This is to ensure that the actual cost from the supplier is known before invoicing the workshop order.
