There are two types of purchase order you can create in AroFlo:
- Task purchase orders - used to order materials for a particular task (which may include quoted items)
- Stock purchase orders - used to replenish stock or keep stock levels up to date.
The process for both scenarios is much the same; the only difference is how to get to the purchase order screen.
Are you ordering materials for a specific task or updating your stock levels?
You're creating a Task Order. Raise your purchase order from the task. Go to Create Task Order.
You're creating a Stock Order. Create your purchase order from the Purchase Order section. Go to Create Stock Order.
