Can Sage 200 Automate Receipt Generation upon Order Approval?

Hello Al,

New to the forum and Sage200 as a product and am curious as to whether it's possible in the std functionality to set order types to auto-generate receipts and convert them to invoices following the PO approval?

I'm curious to understand whether it's possible to feed purchase invoices into Sage as POs (to benefit from the Approval process as I'm led to believe Purchase Invoices don't have this functionality), then automate skipping through subsequent receipting and Invoice entry steps to avoid additional manual effort by the business users.

Appreciate any advice anyone could offer.

Thanks in advance,

Roslyn

    In the Purchase Order Processing module, there is no standard functionality to automatically receive and invoice an order. This would need to be added by a developer.

    However, in the Purchase Ledger module, there can be an authorisation process for purchase invoices - see here.  This is simpler than POP authorisation but may do what you need - and it does apply to imported transactions (as you mentioned "feed purchase invoices", which implies some degree of automation)

    Of course there is a lot more to POP, but if you don't need to record what goods/services are being invoiced, you may find that posting the invoices directly to the Purchase Ledger meets your needs.
