Purchase orders
In PANTHEON, purchase orders can be accessed in the module Orders.
The module Orders enables you to track sales and purchase orders. Purchase orders issued to suppliers can be the basis for creating a document for the receiving of goods. Different types of order documents can be used to provide better overview of purchase orders. The documents can be customized by a specific supplier, country of import or by other parameters.
At the fictional company Tecta, the purchase order documents are used to order materials for the company's own products, to order finished products from suppliers and to order drinks at the in-house bar.
The purchasing process at Tecta is illustrated in the following chapters:
