Create Or Append To Purchase Order

Create Purchase Order:

Append To Existing Purchase Order:

Items added to purchase orders must first exist as line items in the system.
Line items added after purchase orders are created can be added to existing purchase orders or added to newly created purchased orders.
Purchase order items or the entire purchase order can be deleted. To delete an item in a purchase order, the item 'Received' date must be empty and the parent purchase order 'Order Date' and 'Received' date must be blank. In addition the entire purchase order can only be deleted if all associated items are deleted first.
Values can be overridden a purchase order item. Overrides to purchase order items automatically override the associated line item in the line item list.
Entering a received date on a purchase order automatically enters this date on all blank received dates for the related purchase order items.
Entering all purchase order item received dates automatically enters this date on the associated purchase order.
Deleting an item in the line item list automatically deletes any associated purchase order item.
Suggested order dates are based on expected days to receive the items. Ordering items when suggested (just in time JIT ordering) should result in items being received near the same time for a patient order. This should reduce the items requiring storage and waiting for other parts to arrive.
To save time, received dates can be marked in one window across all open orders instead of opening each purchase order in each patient order. To open the associated purchase order details, click on the folder button in the grid row which opens the associated patient order and 'Purchase Order' window.
Bundle purchase orders for the same manufacturer under a single purchase order to reduce ordering costs. Bundled purchase orders can also be unbundled if necessary.
