Purchase Order/Inventory

The COINS Ti Purchase Order/Inventory Module is designed to help you enter and print purchase orders, commit job costs, record receipts of inventory items, and validate accounts payable invoices prior to authorizing payment.

Click on one of the topics below to learn more about the Purchase Order/Inventory module:

Optimized Material and Job Control

While both purchase order and inventory functions are combined in a single module, you can elect to use either function separately or both together. If desired, you can automatically commit costs to the Job Status Module, thereby allowing job costs reports to show committed costs as well as budgeted, forecast projected and actual costs. Several methods of committing costs to jobs are available. COINS Ti makes it easy for you to enter partial payments against purchase order items and to fully uncommit costs when the full amount of the purchase is different than the initial entry. This COINS Ti Module will handle normal vendor, subcontract and blanket purchase orders, including freight and sales/use tax, as well as providing extensive expediting and scheduling functions.

Facilitating Difficult Material and Inventory Control

In addition to normal purchase order functions, this Module allows immediate access to all the purchase order, receipt, expediting and other information that you or your employees need to order, track, receive and pay for construction materials.

Purchase Order/Inventory's many options for inventory management help you keep track of what you have and where it is located, with support for multiple inventory locations, inventory transfers to jobs, equipment, or work orders, physical inventory counts, restocking, and reordering.
