Purchase Orders Report Overview
The Purchase Orders Report screen within SapphireOne Inventory Purchases Mode is used to create different styles of Purchase Order Reports for Vendors. These reports can include report types such as Plain Paper, Plain PrePrinted, Letterhead Paper and Advanced Custom Settings.
When the Purchase Orders Report is selected from the Inventory Purchases Reports Menu, SapphireOne will present a print dialog screen for the user to select and customise the criteria and data they would like included within the report.
The user can select from the Print Destination, Report Type, Report Sort Order and Report Selection drop-down menus to determine the preferred report layout. Reports are created using a combination of the selected metrics.
