Purchasing and Receiving Features
The Purchasing and Receiving module is designed to meet the unique requirements of the paper industry. Its flexible design allows you to purchase specific products or ranges of products. You can issue blanket PO’s to take advantage of quantity discounts. The system captures roll detail as part of the receiving process for use as the raw material moves through the PaperSoft System.
