Using Different Codes and Costs

Transactions > Purchase Orders > Purchase Orders > [New]

To use different codes and costs:

Select Purchase Orders from the Transactions menu. The Purchase Orders (search) window is displayed.
Click the New button. Enter the details of the first supplier.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to create a purchase order for the second supplier (and any subsequent suppliers) – using a different description, price and supplier code.

For example, you could create the same stock item TEST on 3 purchase orders with 3 supplier codes, 3 supplier costs (in different currencies), and 3 descriptions to 3 suppliers.

Note: The supplier cost is updated as part of the process of accepting creditor invoice lines. These invoices are generated from the Purchase Orders – Receipt window, Stock Receipt or Creditors Invoice from Stock procedures. The supplier cost is not updated by manual stock transactions or stock transfers.

Note: There is an additional utility that allows you to look up a stock item, using the supplier reference.
