Entering a Purchase Item

You can create Purchase Items using two methods:
  1. You can enter Purchase Items to the Purchase Item register in the normal way. In the Purchase Orders module, click the [Purchase Items] button in the Master Control panel. The 'Purchase Items: Browse' window is opened, showing all Purchase Items already entered. Click [New] in the Button Bar or, alternatively, select a Purchase Item similar to the one you want to enter and click [Duplicate] on the Button Bar.

  2. You can create a Purchase Item record by copying an Item. From the Item record, select the 'Create Purchase Item' function on the Operations menu. Information will be copied from the Item record into the Purchase Item, leaving you only the tasks of specifying the Supplier and, if necessary, of changing the price.
In both cases, you will use the 'Purchase Item: New' window described here. This window is divided into two cards. There are two named buttons ('tabs') in the header.

By clicking the tabs you can navigate between cards. The header is always visible, as a reminder of the Item you are working with.
