When Fitrix Purchasing is integrated with Fitrix Inventory Control, Replenishment, Production Order Processing, Order Entry, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger you have a comprehensive purchasing system that will track your purchases from the moment they are ordered to the moment your vendor invoices you. The open order report lets you know what is coming in and when; the receipt of merchandise updates your quantity on hand, fills customer back orders and production work orders, and accrues the liability to your vendor in the GL; the receipt flows through to Accounts Payable when the vendor invoice is received so you are assured you will always only pay for what you received.
