The purchase/expense order list is a very powerful search function within Jim2. The list is one of the easiest features to master, and the most practical way of searching for information in Jim2. Users can define their own workload by creating lists that apply to their job function. For example, the purchasing officer can generate a list of all active purchase orders that require attention. Using Jim2 purchase statuses, monitor how successfully procedures or users perform. In relation to purchases, track all contact with vendors via the Comment grid within the purchase, and so on.
|
The purchase list can collate information from purchases, stock and card records in real time for cross reference, and use archived data. Jim2 provides for searches on active and received purchases by ticking either Active and/or Received (top right of purchase order list screen). Current and historic trends can then be monitored in relation to vendors, users, stock and status.
|
Name and pin the lists so that they represent what is being search for. This helps if there are multiple lists running at the same time.
Any back order purchases in the list will be displayed with the PO# field in yellow.
The purchase/expense order list can be generated by running the list based on various search criteria, as determined by the List or Advanced List tabs. Select the type required by using the tabs at the bottom of the purchase/expense order List form. The basic list uses the fields shown at the top of the form. The Advanced List adds the fields shown below.
|
Some letters in the field names within the header are underlined, eg. Vend#. Using Alt+ the underlined letter will jump to the field beside that heading.
|
The List tab is the default. Within this screen select various combinations of the following fields to generate a purchase order list. The Advanced List adds more search fields.
