Purchase Order Management

Manage Purchasing From Request Through Receipt

Give purchasing teams visibility into what is being requested, ordered, and received, while keeping the related activity connected to Accounts Payable.

Purchase Orders
Create purchase orders and manage vendor details, quantities, pricing, delivery information, and order status from one system.
Requests & Approvals
Bring approved purchase requests into the purchasing process so information does not have to be entered again when it is time to create the order.
Receiving & Inventory
Track full, partial, or consolidated receipts while keeping received quantities connected to inventory and Accounts Payable.
Vendor & Cost Management
Manage vendors, pricing, terms, purchasing history, and the costs associated with acquiring inventory.

Connected Purchasing

From Purchase Request to Inventory and Accounts Payable

Purchasing does not end when a purchase order is sent. Acumatica keeps the transaction connected through receiving, inventory, vendor billing, and the financial processes that follow.

Support More Than Basic Purchase Orders

Acumatica supports different purchasing scenarios while keeping them connected to the same vendor, inventory, and financial information.

Inventory Replenishment
Use inventory and replenishment requirements to help determine what needs to be purchased and when.
Drop Shipments
Connect purchasing with customer orders when products are shipped directly from the vendor to the customer.
Blanket Purchase Orders
Manage ongoing purchasing arrangements when your business buys repeatedly from the same vendor over time.
Landed Costs
Include freight, duties, insurance, and other acquisition costs when determining the cost of received inventory.
