PURCHASE ORDERS

Purchase orders are used to order your inventory, either for replacement purposes or for special customer orders. Windward makes the job simple by bringing all the information together into one place. For example, while creating a purchase order for a supplier on a specific item, just click a button and check the suggested order levels for all items from that supplier.

Suggested orders are calculated from the minimum and maximum stock levels, quantities in stock, back orders needing to be filled, and items already on order. If you are short, the system will let you tag and drag those items onto the PO without having to retype them. Similarly, if you have a special order for a customer simply “drag” it onto a purchase order.

If you have a special order for a customer that needs to be ordered, the system will let you easily “drag” it onto a purchase order without having to retype the details. It is important to ensure you get the customer’s special order ordered from the supplier and Windward helps to ensure you remember. This is even more important if you have different people selling at the front counter from those that make up the purchase orders in the back.

Purchase orders support the following features and many others:
• Special Ordering for customers and automatic interaction with work orders
• Suggested ordering based on your minimums and maximums
• Back Orders
• Alternate Suppliers if you need to order the part from a different supplier than normal
• Label Printing on receipt of the items
• Serial Number control
• Foreign currency – you can order in Pesos, Yen or Marks and add the inventory in Dollars
• Special comments line by line to ensure the supplier ships the right item.
• Partial Shipments can be received and items left on back order or cancelled
• Very Easy To Use.
