Purchase Order Statuses

Full Inventory User Guide

To Be Ordered

This status will appear if the "Taken By" field is blank.  When a name is supplied in the "Taken By" field, the system assumes that the purchase order has been placed with the supplier and the status will automatically be changed to "OPEN."

When printing the Summary Purchase Order report, all "To Be Ordered" purchase orders may be printed.  This would be useful to produce a summary of all purchase orders that need to be placed. 

Open

The material has been ordered but not yet received.

Satisfied

The material has been received into the system through Add Roll or Add Item.

Backordered

If the amount received is less than the amount ordered, you may place the purchase order in a backorder status with the toggle button if you expect to receive it later.
