Vendor Orders

The Orders Entry Screen is where you track inventory.  Inventory is a two step process - placing the order and tracking when you receive it.

Each time you place an order with a vendor, you will need to create a "Vendor Order".  Once the order is received from the vendor you will enter the receipt date & quantity.

Choose utilities from the top menu bar, then Enter Vendor Orders.
