Readysell tips and tricks training for Purchasing

Did you know….?

• Purchase orders for drop shipments can be used to ship stock directly to customer addresses or supply stock on behalf of other Office Brands dealers.  See: Purchasing drop shipment and allocated shipments
• Create contracts to control costs on purchase orders against suppliers, including other Office Brands Dealers.  See: Contract prices for supplier costs and when delivering for other dealers
• If you create an allocated purchase from a sale for a major piece of equipment, you can later link that purchase to a particular sale order for sales reporting and stock receipting.  See: Purchasing drop shipment and allocated shipments
• Purchase run min max for key products.  See:Purchasing runs and min max in the Purchasing best practice guide
• Making min max purchase run available is optional.  See Switching on Min Max Run
• Purchase run sets with more/less aggressive purchasing near end of month.  Also have a team member run the purchase run and a different one review it.  See: Creating Purchase Run Sets
• Min/Max update runs can review and correct min/max reorder levels on your key products.  See: Min/Max Update Runs to correct reorder levels
• Build up a purchase run by extracting products into the same purchase run more than once.  See: Purchase Runs with same products in the run
• Purchase runs can be used to purchase back orders only when you want to keep purchase quantities low.  Such as late in the day or on the last day of the month.  See: Purchase runs for Back Orders
• Purchase directly from sales and service orders with the purchase button.  See: Generate Purchase Orders from Sales/Service Orders
• You can use EDI to send purchase orders to major suppliers while reviewing the result on a web page to make sure all lines were accepted.  See: EDI Benefits
• Uploading Purchase Orders Via EDI
• Change due dates on individual purchase order lines or the whole order.  See: Modifying Due Dates on Purchase Order Lines
• Supplier lead time derives the due date on the purchase order.  See: Utilising Supplier Lead Time
• Keep online copies of supplier invoices attached to suppliers or purchase receipts and save on document storage.  See: Attaching Documents to the Supplier Card
