Purchase Order System
The Alert Purchase Order System provides fullfeatured, easy-to-use screens for tracking the ordering and receipt of sales and rental items in Alert EasyPro. Fully integrated into the Alert counter system, the Purchase Order System lets you see what is on order, not just what is in stock, speeding up customer service and improving efficiency. In addition, the Purchase Order System has the ability to link a purchase order to a counter ticket, making tracking and filling special orders easier to manage.
The Purchase Order System works with Alert’s Work Order System as well as the new Sales-to- Rent System to provide more accurate information.
The Purchase Order entry screen provides a complete template for collecting all the critical details of an order, including costs, terms, dates, and notes. Features easy-to-use drop-down menus, scroll bars, and active help.
