Sales Order to Purchase Order Utility - SO2PO

Sales Order to Purchase Order is a utility component which can integrate with Sage ACCPAC ERP. Sales Order to Purchase Order (SO to PO) is an excellent supporting tool for Sage ACCPAC ERP users.

Very purpose of this tool is to create purchase order(s) in a swift manner from a single (or) multiple sales orders. The required inventory by the sales orders can be fulfilled fully or in parts.
The need for SO to PO is inevitable, as the new generation business era has given a rich thought to Just in Time Purchase, Economic Order Quantity and newer concepts such as; improving return on investment of a business by reducing in-process inventory and its associated carrying costs.

SO to PO can also act as a simulative tool for Material Requirements Planning. The inventory items can be purchased with respect to those that has been ordered (demanded).

Moreover any business house would not be interested in involving their man-hours in doing repeated data entry activities. Rather the helm of affairs of the business house would be interested in their employees involving in man-hours on analysis, market study, business development and control unnecessary carrying costs.

 An order with one or more items that are not yet shipped.
