15 Chapter 1 Getting Started How Purchase Orders fits with Other Adagio Modules Adagio Ledger POA updates ledger purchase expenses, costing accounts and tax accounts in batch mode. If the Event Budget option is selected, POA will also monitor budget figures entered for expense accounts, as orders are created, and will import GL budget figures directly into the Event Budget tables. Adagio Inventory Control Inventory Control costs and quantities are updated from Orders, Receipts, Returns and Invoice/Adjustments posted in POA in real time. Adagio Payables POA creates an open batch in Payables for all Invoices created for AP Vendors, after End of Day processing. Adagio Order Entry Purchase Orders can be generated directly from Adagio Order Entry orders and cross-referenced to Order Entry orders. Adagio Job Costing POA integrates directly to Adagio Job Cost. Adagio DataCare Purchase Orders for Adagio, does not yet integrate with Phase 2 data care processing. Phase 1 processing is enabled. Adagio LanPaks Purchase Orders for Adagio uses the same Lanpaks as other Adagio modules and will start to count against the licenced count for each additional concurrent user of POA. ACCPAC Plus POA will integrate with all ACCPAC Plus 6.1 modules and higher. User Guide Page 3

16 Purchase Orders Features POA is backwards compatible with Inventory Receipts 6.5. POA is not backwards compatible with Inventory Receipts 7.0. See also Sample Integrations. Purchase Orders Features Purchase Orders for Adagio (POA) helps you manage purchase orders, shipment receipts, and vendor invoices. POA integrates seamlessly with Adagio Accounting solutions. The program: Shares the Adagio Lanpak count for network licencing. Is fully compatible with Inventory Receipts for ACCPAC Plus version 6.5 or later -- requiring no data conversion. Is fully compatible with ACCPAC Plus Accounting Software solutions, although references to ACCPAC Plus have been removed from this documentation because Sage discontinued support of ACCPAC Plus in September Normal processing involves creating, revising, printing or reprinting a purchase order that updates on-order quantities and costs as soon as the transaction is posted. You can match vendor shipments/services to existing POs and update costs and quantities when receiving goods. And you can match vendor invoices to POs or related packing slips to further update costs if applicable. Subsequent vendor adjustments, if necessary, can be matched to delivery notes or invoices to make cost adjustments. Using requisitions Purchase Orders for Adagio lets you create Requisitions which require appropriate security access to be approved and converted to Purchase Orders. Miscellaneous charges POA lets you use miscellaneous charges to develop landed costs for all inventory items. Miscellaneous charges can be expensed directly or allocated by purchase order using a variety of allocation methods. Miscellaneous charges can be added for the same vendor or different vendors or with different currencies, all on the same PO, to allow you to track all related costs of that order. Multiply POs and multiple receipts You can combine multiple POs into a single receipt. You can also combine multiple receipts into a single vendor invoice, giving you processing flexibility for real-life purchasing situations. Page 4 Purchase Orders for Adagio

17 Understanding Clearing Accounts Within the normal processing, transactions are color coded to identify the status. Screen grids can be sorted and filtered by users to meet their needs. Intuitive data flow lets you track related documents with drilldown capabilities to specific record details. Other features Purchase Orders for Adagio processes all vendor transactions that are supported by POs, sending them as invoice batches to Accounts Payable. It also creates batches of GL transactions, either with transaction level details or consolidated by date and account, and it updates Inventory Control quantities and costs when goods are received. POA uses minimum/maximum order quantities for autogeneration of Purchase Orders, and provides the flexibility to deal with the timing nuances associated with receiving shipments/services from numerous vendors and vendor documents. You can use POA in several different configurations: As a standalone Purchase Order Solution integrated with Accounts Payable with/without General Ledger Budgeting, Working as a distribution management tool within an Adagio Inventory Control / Order Entry solution, Or working as a Job Costing control tool within an Adagio Job Costing solution. You configure the software to meet your custom needs in single or multicurrency business environments. Data conversion is required to convert Purchase Order transaction data from ACCPAC Plus Inventory Control or ACCPAC Plus Purchase Orders, or UniDevco Inventory Receipts 6.1 version 2. Understanding Clearing Accounts G/L Implications when using Purchase Orders for Adagio Abbreviations used: POA IC AP Purchase Orders for Adagio Adagio Inventory Control Adagio Payables Assumptions: Uses IC Items Uses AP Vendors Process receipts via Packing Slip and follow with a Vendor Invoice later User Guide Page 5

18 Understanding Clearing Accounts Vendor Invoices processed through POA Direct batch posting to AP, turned on in POA Company Profile Ignores Taxes Transaction notes: 1. Create a PO to buy IC Item from an AP Vendor; qty =5 and unit price=$10 This transaction has no GL implications 2. Receipt to delivery note; qty =4 and unit price unknown at this time If the unit price is not edited during entry of the receipt, POA assumes that the PO unit price is correct and uses it for calculating all entries. POA Day end will create the entries in a GL batch. Inventory AP Clearing AP Debit Credit Debit Credit Debit Credit Invoice processed in POA; qty=4 and actual unit price= $10.50 POA Day end will create the entries in a GL batch. POA Day end will create an AP unposted batch. Inventory AP Clearing AP Debit Credit Debit Credit Debit Credit AP batch posted AP posting will create a GL batch Inventory AP Clearing AP Debit Credit Debit Credit Debit Credit AP Clearing Account is a Liability Account equivalent to a Received Goods (Receipt Clearing) Accrual. It contains the value of all goods received for which a Vendor Invoice has not yet been processed. After processing the POA Day End and posting the subsequent AP and GL batches, this account should balance to the Outstanding Receipt Invoice List report in POA. Page 6 Purchase Orders for Adagio

19 Sample Integrations with Other Adagio Modules We recommend that it be a separate account to facilitate balancing for period end review and reconciliations. After defining the account in the General Ledger, the account number is assigned in Profile > Interface Posting Options. Sample Integrations with Other Adagio Modules This is a basic distribution model, with Inventory Items and possibly Sundry Items, linked to Order Entry, with Autogeneration of PO's either enabled or disabled. In this model, POA works almost exactly like OE, but in reverse, in that you are creating orders with your vendors. User Guide Page 7

20 Sample Integrations with Other Adagio Modules This is a basic job cost model with sundry items, instead of inventory items being purchased for jobs. Distribution for the job would be coded on the PO, and distributed to the job when the goods or services are received. This is a job cost model with Purchasing to Inventory or to Jobs, and contracted services in Sundry items. Purchases of inventory can be posted to Inventory for Page 8 Purchase Orders for Adagio

21 Starting Purchase Orders for Adagio stock purchases, or to jobs for defined purchases. Inventory can also be transferred from stock to jobs. This is a basic Payables mode, with Sundry Items being purchased, and distributed to GL accounts. In this model, we often see event budgeting used either as a guide or control for budgeted purchasing, by relying upon links to the General Ledger budgets by account, and even by account within periods. Starting Purchase Orders for Adagio This section explains how to start Purchase Orders and how to use command line parameters to streamline this process. To start Purchase Orders for Adagio, double-click the PO icon on your desktop. Enter: User ID Password Enter your 3-digit UserID. Enter your password, if one has been assigned to you. User Guide Page 9

22 Starting Purchase Orders for Adagio Current Date Data Path Extension The date will default to the PC system date; use the calendar icon to select another date. You can click on the single file folder (left icon) to browse to your data files or click on the multiple file folders to select from a list of previously used datasets. You must enter an extension that matches your dataset. Command Line Parameters Purchase Orders for Adagio allows you to use command line parameters to start the application. Command line parameters are set as properties for the program and allow you to bypass certain fields in the Open Purchase Orders dialog box each time you start the application. The parameters are as follows: Parameters Description /u Set the default user /p Set a default password /d Set the default data path /e Set a default data extension /t Set the session date Warning: Because command line parameters can bypass certain security functions such as user identification and passwords, you must ensure that you are the only user on the particular machine and that password security is not a concern in your office before using command line parameters. Setting Command Line Parameters To set command line parameters: 1. Right click on the Purchase Orders icon on your desktop and select Properties from the pop-up menu that appears. 2. Click the Shortcut tab Page 10 Purchase Orders for Adagio

23 Personalizing Purchase Orders Screens 3. Click to locate your cursor at the end of the information in the Target field (the drive and directory where you installed Purchase Orders, and the name of the program file). 4. Type the desired parameter and then the default information for that parameter. For example, to set a default user, type /usys. Do not leave a space between the parameter and the default information. 5. Continue to type in as many parameters (with the associated default information) as you require, leaving a space between each one. If you set all four parameters, Purchase Orders will bypass the Open Purchase Order for Adagio dialog box entirely each time you start up Purchase Orders. The date field will default to the current date on your machine. Note: You must use the /d and the /e parameters together -- they only function as a pair. Personalizing Purchase Orders Screens We know that everyone works differently, and views different pieces of information as important. For that reason, we've included a Column Editor with Purchase Orders for Adagio that allows you to customize most display grids to best suit your needs. Many of the grids can be sorted by clicking on a column heading; once for ascending and twice for descending. The Documents window and the Print Documents window have color coded filters that can be turned off and on. Changes made in the Column Editor or to the View Filters are stored by PC login ID. Sort order changes are stored only for the current view. If you close the grid and reopen it will revert to the default sort order. User Guide Page 11

24 Personalizing Purchase Orders Screens Column Editor To activate the Column Editor, use the right mouse click to popup a window from which you can select Show/Hide columns. The Column Editor is now visible as shown below: From this pop-up window you can select a field and drag it to the column heading title bar. To remove a column from the grid, you must open the Column Editor and drag the column heading back to the Column Editor window. Page 12 Purchase Orders for Adagio

25 Personalizing Purchase Orders Screens Note: Only those users who have been given rights to the Column Editor will be able to access this feature. When a user is set up in File > Security > Users, the System Administrator must click the Edit columns checkbox on if he/she wishes to give the user access to the column editor. Color Coded Status Filters Each status box has two options: A left mouse click on the box will turn the color display in the grid off and on. A right mouse click on the box will filter out of the display all documents that match that status. In the example above, all completed Purchase Orders are filtered out of the view. Note: Use the color displays to distinguish status' of PO's at a glance. The filters are also an effective tool to sort or selectively view Purchase Orders. User Guide Page 13

This means that if you are running the accounting system for more than one company, you can enter purchase orders for more than one company at a time on the same computer. It's also very useful when you want to perform two or more functions at the same time, such as entering purchase orders and printing reports. User Guide Page 17

30 Running Multiple Instances of POA Each additional instance uses a license. Therefore, an Adagio Lanpak must be installed to use this feature. Notes on multiple instances Although you can run multiple instances of Purchase Orders for Adagio, Purchase Orders is not included on the Adagio menu. You must open other instances of Purchase Orders from your Start menu or a desktop shortcut. When running multiple instances of Purchase Orders, the program adds an instance number to the window titles, such as Purchase Orders for Adagio (2) for the second instance, and so on. To help you differentiate between the databases you have open in the multiple instances of Purchase Orders, you may wish to take advantage of the background colour option in the Company Profile. This option allows you to set a different background colour for the main windows in Purchase Orders, for the individual databases that you are working with. Multiple users can print the same report at the same time. Page 18 Purchase Orders for Adagio

31 Processing Overview Chapter 2 Day-to-Day Processing The following diagram provides an overview of the Purchase Orders system.

Receipts: You receive quantities against a existing Purchase Orders when goods arrive -- or you can record a Quick Receipt for goods that arrive without a Purchase Order. (For example, office supplies or miscellaneous materials under $500 may be exempt from the PO process, but must still be received.) Receipts can be packing slips or could be the invoice for a Purchase Order. Returns: You can item returns from stock with quantities and costs, or you can enter credits or cost adjustments for items. Invoices (Adjustments): Invoices are matched to Receipts, and then sent to Accounts Payable in batches. Invoices do not adjust quantities, but could adjust costs or taxes. You can enter debit note and credit note adjustments to adjust costs from Invoices. In addition, you can... Include multiple PO's on a receipt. Include multiple receipts on an invoice. Include multiple vendors on an order or receipt. Add items or services to existing orders, or partially processed/receipted orders, or to receipts.
