Generating Purchase Orders In Bulk

Rather than creating Purchase Orders individually you may use the following methods to 'bulk-generate' Purchase Orders:

• Suggested Orders Report - This generates (or produces a list of) 'Suggested' Purchase Orders based on current stock and reorder levels. You may optionally limit the procedure to a range of Supplier accounts and/or Products, and apply additional criteria. Once the 'Suggested' Purchase Orders have been generated on the system you may review them and convert them to 'actual' Purchase Orders as required. See Suggested Orders Report.

• Generating Purchase Orders From A .CSV File - This method involves first extracting Product data to a .csv file, then retrieving the file and manually reviewing and updating the listed products, suppliers, quantities and other details. On saving the file and placing it in the specified directory on the server, Purchase Orders are automatically generated in Quantum VS - across multiple suppliers if required. You may optionally generate Parked and Suggested Purchase Orders as well as 'actual' Purchase Orders. This method allows for great flexibility in terms of specifying product reorder quantities based on your own specialist knowledge of the market. See Generating Purchase Orders From A .CSV File.
