Purchasing

 

Purchasing is a very important part of the OnSite system. 

 Although Purchase Orders do not directly hit the General Ledger directly, they DO  affect it when the sales order linked to the Purchase Order is invoiced.  Our experience with most new OnSite clients is that their Purchasing “procedures” are non-existent or not followed.  The problems listed below are common.

  • Don’t issue Purchase Orders.  “We trust our vendors”.    
  •  Purchase Orders incorrectly filled out. “We will worry about it when the bill comes in.”
  •  Too many hands in the purchasing “pot”.  Different people are handling the Purchasing and they each do it a different way.

2. Purchasing By Order – Purchase products and issue purchase orders specific to a single
sales order. Also covers subcontract purchasing (purchase of labor) for products that are
sent to other companies for embellishment.

Procedural Considerations

1. What type of Purchasing will you mostly do for your company?

2. What procedures will you need to implement in purchasing?

3. Who will do the purchasing, and when?
