Purchase Order Analysis


Purchase Order Analysis provides the quantity ordered, projected cost, extended cost, quantity returned, quantity received, actual cost,  and extended actual cost for selected suppliers, items, and/or buyers within a specified date range. These various reports can be sorted by supplier, item, or buyer by selecting the appropriate tab and running the report.
The Purchase Order Analysis screen is displayed. Purchase order reports can be sorted by supplier, item or buyer. Enter the beginning and ending date for the report.  Select either the supplier, item or buyer tab.  The selections made on that tab will be used as sort criteria for the report.

Buyer   The items purchased by each buyer, within the specified date range, are listed below the sales person's name.
