Title: RE: use of credit cards

A purchase order does a lot. I could think of a lot of issues with it.
Here are a few off the top of my head.

You need to do purchase receipts into stock and into inspection. 
Then there is performance measurements.
Purchase price various.
MRP - Planned orders.
Actual costs updates for the product.
Audit trails.
Then there are the GL created from this entries for it.

Regards,
Roger

Subject:        use of credit cards

does anybody use credit cards for inventory purchases? if so, do you still need to create a po? it appears that the bpcs receiving and purchase price variance routines require that you create a po, even though your vendor is quite willing to simply bill you via a credit card. does anybody have any thoughts on this subject?
