Reports
Purchase Order Reports: allow you to get a detailed view of purchase orders and purchase order history, track late arriving items, measure vendors' performance, and reprint purchase orders.
  Open Purchase Order Report:
 
Provides a detailed view of open purchase orders, including those that have been received and invoiced. Purchase orders remain in the Open File until the Completed check box is selected in the PO Receive POs window or purged from the system.
  Expected / Late Items Report:
 
Lists items that have been ordered through Purchase Order, have not been received, and are expected to arrive by a certain date. The Late Items Report lists items that have been ordered through Purchase Order, have not been received, and are past the expected receiving date. Both of these reports provide an effective method for tracking and monitoring expected orders, enabling you to follow up on late shipments. In order to utilize this report, you must enter the expected date on purchase orders when you issue them.
  Vendor Performance Report:
 
Displays the variance between the information for estimated cost, expected date, and quantity entered on a purchase order and the actual cost, date received, and quantity received. This report is most valuable after several Purchase Orders have been entered for the same vendor.
  Purchase Order History Report:
 
Provides a detailed view of purchase orders in the history file. All purchase orders that have been at least partially received are contained in the history file.
  Item History Report:
 
Displays the history of items that have been ordered through the Purchase Order module.
  Reprinting Purchase Orders:
 
Allows you to reprint selected purchase orders from either the open item or history files.
