Purchase Order Processing

Profitability depends as much upon cost effective purchasing as upon sales. The Purchase Order Processing module includes advanced demand forecasting to assist planning and stock control and help you negotiate the best deals with your suppliers. Swords accommodates one-off and buying group promotions. Full purchase histories are maintained providing a complete view of purchasing activity, with instant on screen access to account information, back orders, outstanding purchase orders and sales statistics by product. Swords also enables businesses to monitor revenues from long term agreements.

Promotional activity – Swords gives the operator the ability to register ‘one off’ or long term buying promotions, with the facility to enter free format text.

Registering new products – new products can easily be registered to the stock file, whilst in purchase order processing.

Automatic buying reports – these can be produced on predetermined days and the system will calculate the required order, using an algorithm based on sales history, lead time, current stock, week/days coverage required etc.

Allowance monitoring – Swords will monitor all allowances by supplier or product.
