When we started in business, purchase orders were the
exception. In fact budgets
were the exception, even in some very large companies.
In these leaner, meaner times you can’t do without them.
The fact is that if people have to get a
purchase order signed off by someone in authority, they don’t spend
as much money! How many times have you seen totally unnecessary
stuff ordered because ‘the salesman is very friendly, and we may
as well stock up’? Small stationery items are typical. Have a look in your store room and see how
many dozen erasers are there, or plastic filing trays, or nobby little
gadgets for keeping pens in. (We’ve
got hundreds…)
Purchase orders are an essential tool for keeping a
grip on your overheads, but generating them must be easy and efficient. We can write you a system which will keep a
handle on what has been spent and what is in the pipeline, and provide invaluable management reports, not just on
the figures, but about who are the big spenders in your organization,
who your favoured suppliers are, what items are of a capital nature,
etc.
