+ | See the [[items: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using programs activates a comprehensive system for managing orders and supplies by program. When you click on the **New internal order button**, before the order window opens, another window appears to allow you to select the program and period etc. that the order belongs to: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Order type:** Selecting //General// will create a standard, non-program based requisition and none of the Order details section fields will apply. Selecting //Program// will create a program based requisition and you must fill in the details in the **Order details** section. | ||
+ | * **Order details section** | ||
+ | * **Program: | ||
+ | * **Requisition type:** Select one of the types of order you have defined for this program. Normal orders will follow the quantification rules and be limited in the number of orders per period. Emergency orders will not follow quantification rules and will not be limited in the numbers of orders per period but will typically be limited in the numbers of lines that can be entered on them. | ||
+ | * **Supplier: | ||
+ | * **Period:** The period this requisition is for. Will contain a list of all the periods which are still available for you to enter a requisition for i.e. those for which you have not already entered the maximum number of requisitions. The //Start date// and //End date// fields show the dates of the start and end of the selected period. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you click on the **OK** button on this window, the requisition is created for you. The items defined for the program are automatically added to it and the suggested order quantity is calculated for you following the quantification rules. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that items belonging to the program will only be added to the order if they are also visible in the supplying store. This is to avoid the situation where you request an item that they don't have visible to them and therefore can never have any stock to supply! | ||
+ | ===== Purchase orders ===== | ||

+ | The names of suppliers which are stores will appear in //RED// in the choice list of suppliers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | From mSupply v7.0 this method of ordering from another store has been removed. Store names have been filtered out of the name selection so it is not possible to send an internal requisition to another store this way. | ||

+ | * delete the purchase order or any of its lines (mSupply will give you a warning if you try). | ||

+ | If you have unfilled lines on the customer invoice (i.e. red placeholder lines), when you finalise the customer invoice you will be asked if you want to create a new invoice with the unfilled lines. This new invoice retains the link to the purchase order that created the original customer invoice, and can be used to issue further goods to the customer. | ||
