When you purchase inventory from a vendor, it is necessary to make a purchase order. You can use ACE to make this process simple, by using automatic orders.
Step-by-step guide
1. Go to Operations > Vendors & Purchases > Purchasing.
2. Select the Vendor from the drop-down. Then check off the Automatic Order box, the Order based on Sales(Invoice) box, and select the time frame.
3. Click on OK.
4. The purchase order will populate all the necessary items to order. If you need to delete an item, click on the item to highlight it, then click Delete.
5. To add an item, click on the Add button and choose either Create a new product or Find an existing product. We’ll choose the latter for this example.
6. In the List of Products screen, double click on a product to highlight it, then click Select.
