Purchases

This screen will display the purchase statistics of a vendor by Category of product.  It will be populated when an order is received in the system.  At that moment, the purchase order becomes a completed purchase and, therefore the system will update the purchases tab of the related vendor.

The statistics will be updated when the receiving slip is invoiced. If there is a correction in the cost of the product on the invoice, the system will update all related information based on the cost entered on the invoice. 

This tab breaks down the total purchases by Category based on the selected period from the drop down field in the top right corner of the page. The system will summarize the total purchases of the given month, the total purchases year to date, as well as comparative information such as the total purchases for the same selected month of the previous year, and cumulative purchases of the previous year.

By doubling clicking on one of the Product Categories presented on this tab, the system will give a more detailed breakdown of all purchases by sub-categories (Category 2, Category 3, Category 4).

In the example above, by double clicking on Category 70 - Equipments, the system will generate a new tab with the expanded purchases by sub-categories related to Category 70 (see screen shot below). The total of each column should equal the total purchases of Category 70 presented in the main Purchase tab.
