Subject: Improvement to Purchase Order Form
Summary:    
When we implement the LINSOFT Inventory Module for a new customer or a new site the creating a Purchase Order is a big hassle. There are a total of 45 local vendors in Fiji. Of these, some provide over 1000 line items example Punjas, FMF, CJ Patel, Motibhai, Tappoos, Ashabhai. When invoices are sent, each invoice has over 500 lines. Creating these on the web, reconciling, and receiving takes over 6 hours per Purchase Order. Below were our observations from our recent implementation at Dannys Supermarket.
  1. There is no line number on the Purchase Order form. When items are saved, these are auto arranged by Description. When there are discrepancies, the user has to search and reconcile item by item which is a very time-consuming task. Need to re-introduce line numbers at Purchase Order form 
  2. Creating a Purchase Order from the web for 500 lines takes a user more than 4 hours. Just enter the data and save. If there is are discrepancies then this would take another 2 to 3 hours to reconcile.

Improvement Suggestions:

  1. Create a form similar to Stock Take and Roster Edit with an Add Item Feature.
  2. Add line number on Purchase Order detail to ensure data is saved in the same order user has entered for reconciliation Purpose.
  3. Add a feature to show only the supplier items in the dropdown. Users can choose to show all items to add to the Purchase Order.
Section C - Provide a Test plan - List out at least two scenarios that will be used to verify.
  1. Enter Purchase Orders, on saving the Products should be saved in the same sequence as they were entered.
  2. Enter a 300 line Purchase Order. Should not take more than 1 hour.
