Converting a PO
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is given its own section just to better clarify.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "purpose" of an Ordering batch in Rattail can vary. Presumably
|
||
|
|
the most common use is to actually assemble a new PO, to be submitted
|
||
|
|
to the vendor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But this batch type can also be used to "convert" any arbitrary PO
|
||
|
|
data, to any other format/system. You might have multiple different
|
||
|
|
ordering "systems" which vary by vendor etc. If so then you could
|
||
|
|
process PO data from each of these, as separate Ordering batches.
|
||
|
|
Executing each batch would then produce whatever output you needed for
|
||
|
|
them to be in a "common" format etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Probably the most common scenario for this is where you want to import
|
||
|
|
the PO data into your POS system. This lets it know that the product
|
||
|
|
is "on order" and will be what receiving happens against, once the
|
||
|
|
order arrives from the vendor.
