Tutorial on Low Inventory Report, Purchase Order and Receiving?

Jake Voelcker

I would like to start using the Low Inventory Report, Purchase Order and Receiving functions of PHP POS, but I'm a little confused about how they work. Is there a tutorial available anywhere?

Specifically I want to know:

1. What is the normal workflow for ordering stock from suppliers?

2. Can I generate a purchase order from a low inventory report?

3. Can I export a purchase order in a specific format to send to a supplier, e.g.:
Item Number 1, quantity
Item Number 2, quantity
Item Number 3, quantity
etc.

    1. There is not a normal workflow but here are a couple examples:

    1a. Manually doing purchase order. You can just go to the receivings module and order what you want

    1b. You can use an automatic purchase order generation. To do this go to the receivings module and click "..." --> Purchase Order and then use the form to choose the criteria you want to generate PO based on. 

     

    2. You can generate that from 1b

     

    3. You can use batch receiving for this. You can do this by going to Receivings --> "..." --> batch receiving. From here you can download a spreadsheet that will let you do this
