Purchase order management
In the purchase order management of abas ERP, purchase orders can be
created directly or can be generated from a request or from the purchase
order suggestions created by the system.
Parts can be ordered which are available in the system and also so-called
one-time parts which are not available as master files and the description
of which is assigned to the purchase order item.
The purchase order is also the basis for the account assigned to the
incoming invoice. Cost centers and cost objects can be assigned to a
purchase order item.
Each purchase order item can be supplemented by user-defined texts of
any length. Drawings can be linked as well.
