Purchase Order Management

Purchasers working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central often use post-it notes or Excel-sheets, because it is not possible to manage purchase orders properly. This app, Purchase Order Management, provides you an actionable overview.

The app introduces a "purchase handling journal". This journal gives you an overview of all requests you have made to suppliers - that your suppliers have not yet responded to. This also includes change requests to existing purchase orders, that the suppliers have not yet responded to.

Many companies have a lot of unresponded purchase requests and change requests with suppliers, and it is almost impossible to keep track and remember which ones to follow up on. Purchase Order Management provides the overview and shows you which purchase orders to follow up on.
