Purchase Order Listing

This Help File Page was last Modified on 04/03/2017

Requiring the use of Purchase Orders for product and service acquisitions allows you to better track your spending by incorporating them into a Purchasing Procedure

This Purchasing Procedure should include:

A Manager's Purchase Approval, and

An actual Spending Authorization from someone responsible for tracking expenses with the Company's budget.

This combination of an OK to buy and an OK to spend should provide just enough structure to restrain frivolous and/or unnecessary purchases.

 

There are two ways to access the Purchase Order Listing dialog:

a)From the Backstage Menu System Select Reports and Choose Payable Reports, or

b)From the Quick Access Menu, Select Reports and Choose Payable Reports.

Then, Select Purchase Orders.

 

Purchase Order Listing: There are three tabs on the Purchase Order Listing dialog.

Options - Initially only the Options tab is shown (until you make your Options selections and Select Print).
