The Reports and Inquiry menu

The Purchase Orders application includes reports that show open purchase orders by product number; purchase history by vendor and product; and annualized inflation rates by vendor and averaged by product.

Report information is based on data contained in the Purchase Orders and Inventory Control files. You can sort the information that appears in these reports according to your needs, and you can select the level of detail that you want to appear. Some reports contain information that is not available if the Inventory Control, Accounts Payable, or Order Entry applications are not part of the system.

The Inquiry selection provides a quick way to look at the status of a selected purchase order. The Reports and Inquiry menu is shown below:
