Purchase Orders

The ACUMEN Purchase Order system is a complete system for ordering inventory, services, and supplies from your vendors. With the Purchase Order system you can fully track and control all of the purchases that you make, including: job related services, other publisher's products that you resell or distribute, companion products such as display racks or catalogs, office products, and professional services. Purchase Orders are integrated with the Accounts Payable, Inventory, and Followup systems so that many operations are automated.
