The [[http://wiki.openpro.com/doku.php?id=products:distribution:purchasing:po-app-guide|Purchase New]] screen helps you in creating a new purchase order. Creating a Purchase Order helps in the management of inventory by scheduling receipts dates and by keeping track of vendor performance and payment terms.

To build a new PO on this screen, start by selecting the vendor (a person or company from whom you purchase the goods and
services used in your business). You can quickly search for a vendor based on any vendor details such as names, addresses, social security numbers, phone numbers or email.
