Keep Headquarters PO File Small to Reduce Store Exchange File Size and Time

Once a PO has been filled, it is advisable to delete it at Headquarters. Deleting a PO prevents it from being included in mailbags sent to remote stores during Store Exchanges. This keeps the PO file compact and helps speed the time it takes to create and send/receive Store Exchange mailbags. It also removes the PO from the PO list at the remote store, helping keep it compact and useful.

Instill Good Receiving Practices at Remotes

If the received merchandise was ordered on a PO, remote stores should always receive against that PO when receiving the merchandise. This not only speeds the process of making a voucher and minimizes data entry errors, it also ensures that the proper order cost is carried to the voucher and that the PO fill status is updated at Headquarters. Following this practice will facilitate accurate and timely updating of your inventory cost and tracking of purchased merchandise.
