3 Singh Management Co., LLC 1. Chapter 1: Purchasing Overview This chapter describes how to create and use purchase orders (POs), change orders (COs), and recurring purchase orders (RPOs). The information in this chapter is intended for staff that request, purchase, and receive products and services. PAYscan purchase orders, change orders, and recurring purchase orders enable the automation of requesting and receiving products and services. Automation helps prevent user error, as well as saving time and money. Purchase Orders Quite simply a purchase order is a shop-ping list. More precisely, a purchase order is a document issued by a buyer to a seller, indicating types, quantities, and agreed upon prices for products or services the seller will provide to the buyer. When the requested products or services arrive, you can record in PAYscan what you received which may be everything you ordered, or it may be less than you ordered. When you receive an invoice from the vendor and you are ready to pay for the products or services received, you can pull the purchase order (the whole purchase order or individual purchase order detail lines) into an invoice register batch, which can be posted to a payable batch. If you decide you want to inactivate a purchase order, you can close it. PAYscan Purchase Orders are required for all company related purchases Purchase Orders ARE used for: One-time purchases (purchase order). Entertainment for events. Office Equipment (computers, printers, phones). One-time Maintenance Inventory Items. Site/Community Improvement Projects. Recurring purchases (recurring purchase orders).
