Your PayGo software is designed to keep all aspects of your business running smoothly, and naturally that extends to your ordering. With PayGo, you are able to create & commit purchase orders, add new inventory, and ensure that your store is always stocked with your most important items, all in one simple-to-use place. 

Accessing your Purchase Orders

All information on purchase orders can be found on your central Purchase Orders screen, accessed via the Menu button. You can create a new purchase order by clicking the New Purchase Order button, or you can click the Plus button next to the Purchase Orders button on your Menu. Both methods will open the Order Creation – Purchase Order screen. If you’re looking for a previously-created purchase order, you can search for it in the Purchase Orders screen by clicking the List Open POs button at the top of the screen, or by searching for the purchase order in the Search bars to the left of the screen. You can also search for purchase orders by clicking the Magnifying Glass button next to the Purchase Orders button on your Menu, which will open a search window.

Note: For more information on creating and committing a purchase order through PayGo, see Creating a Purchase Order.

Boxes

Vendor Information box

In the Vendor Information box, you will see two tabs: Name and Summary. In the Name tab, enter the vendor name and information.

• If you are ordering through a vendor that you have already added to your PayGo software, that vendor’s information will auto-populate when you choose their name in the drop-down menu that appears when you click in the Vendor Name field.
• If you have chosen a vendor that you would like to change basic information for, you can click the pencil button next to the Vendor Name field. This will take you to the Vendor/Consignor/Manufacturer Entry screen, where you can change or update your records.
• If you are ordering from a new vendor and need to enter their information into your software, click the New Vendor button at the top of the screen. This will take you to the Vendor/Consignor/Manufacturer Entry screen.

In the Summary tab, you can view the Account Number, Payment Terms, and On Order Balance associated with the vendor selected. Both the Account Number and Payment Terms fields are populated by the information provided in the Vendor/Consignor/Manufacturer Entry screen. To view the On Order Balance for the specified vendor, click on the word Set next to the field.

Order Information Box

In the Order Information box, you are able to enter shipping and payment information for this purchase order under three tabs: Order Info, Ship To, and Bill To.

The Order Info tab is where you can enter details about when the order has been placed, when it should arrive, which store the order is for, and information on any possible order cancellation. In the Ship To tab, you are able to set where the purchase order is being sent. And in the Bill To tab, you can set who will be paying for the purchase order. If you have an invoice through PayGo that you’d like to link to the purchase order, you can add a link to that in the Invoice Link field by clicking the blue Check Mark icon to the right of the field. When an invoice ID is added to this field, you can click on it to automatically open the invoice in a new window.

 Totals Box

The Totals box is where you will set all cost information, from discounts to shipping and handling costs to any possible insurance paid on the shipment.

Search for Item Box

To find an item that you have previously ordered using PayGo’s Purchase Order tools, enter the item’s information in the Item field, located in the Search For Item box. To perform a search, click anywhere outside of the field and you will be taken to the Inventory Items screen where all items meeting your search terms will be listed. On this screen, you can click the Omit Discontnd button to omit all discontinued items from the search. You can also sort the item list by clicking the Sort button, which will take you to a pop-up screen where you can choose how you would like to sort.

From there, you can add items to your purchase order in a few ways:

• To add all items in the list to your purchase order, click the Set All to PO button.
• To add one item on the list to your purchase order, click the plus sign to the left of each item.
• To add a certain amount of each item, type in the number you would like to add in the Set Qty field, and then click the Add button at the top right of the screen.
• To add an item to the purchase order that you have not previously had in your store, click the New Inventory button at the top of the Purchase Order Screen. This will take you to the Inventory Quick Add screen.

The items on your purchase order will appear in the list below.
