Purchase order rules

Purchase orders generated from the Data -> Purchasing -> Reordering screen are deemed to be created automatically and are of type AUTOMATIC.

Purchase orders created from the Data -> Purchasing -> Part Orders screen are deemed to be created automatically and are of type CONVENTIONAL.

Purchase orders created from the Data -> Purchasing -> Quick Orders screen are deemed to be created manually and are of type QUICK or CONVENTIONAL.

When you generate reorders from this screen, FASuite dispatches the orders automatically (that is, faxes them directly to the vendor) if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• Product category assigned to the order is approved for automatic ordering

• Vendor has a fax number

• Value of the order is not less than the vendor’s minimum order value

If the fax transmission fails, the order is marked Fax failed.
