Purchase order settings

Settings → Modules → Purchase Order covers how purchase orders are numbered and the two lists a PO chooses from.

Settings → Modules → Purchase Order

Default settings

Settings → Modules → Purchase Order → Purchase Order default

Prefix is the letters in front of every PO number and is required; Set PO counter from is the number the next one takes. Update saves.

Payment mode

Settings → Modules → Purchase Order → Payment Mode

How you pay the supplier. Ships with Cash, Cheque, Credit Card, Debit Card and Direct Deposit, all marked Default.

Add Payment Mode adds your own — a supplier account, a company card, a finance arrangement.

Delivery mode

Settings → Modules → Purchase Order → Delivery Mode

How the goods get to you — courier, supplier’s van, collected by an engineer, direct to site. Add Delivery Mode adds one.

Delivery mode is worth filling in when you receive stock in more than one way, because it is what tells your stores whether to expect a pallet or whether an engineer has already taken the parts straight to a job.
