Re: Generating purchase orders for parts/services not on file



Hello Richard,

You can use an AP transaction instead of doing the whole PO/Vendor
Invoice approach. The AP transaction can be used for expense accounts
(such as the general "Office Supplies") rather than COGS accounts which
are used for invoices.

So, when purchasing goods or services for resale, use a PO/Vendor
Invoice, but for general expenses use an AP transaction (you will still
need to set up the supplier as a vendor, however - the only way to avoid
this is to use a GL transaction, I believe).

HTH,

Pete
