A Purchase Order is where you have requested for goods and/or services from a supplier to either replenish/increase your stock or help fulfil the requirements of an Order.

A Purchase Order raised within OnRent is recorded against a Supplier account allowing the recording of Products and Services that have been requested, with quantities, costs and record the status of each line on the Purchase Order.

As a Purchase Order is raised against a supplier, Suppliers will need creating within OnRent.

Where the OnRent system has been integrated with an account solution, these Supplier accounts can be imported from the Purchase Ledger/Accounts Payable part of the interlinked solution, these accounts will have their Type set as Supplier.

Suppliers can be manually created in the same way as Customers.

During the account creation process set the Account Type to Supplier.

Only accounts set as being a Supplier can have a Purchase Order raised against them.

The menu option for Purchase Orders is located under the Orders > Purchase Orders menu heading.

This will open the Purchase Order screen which will list any existing Purchase Orders within the OnRent system, the ability to filter these Purchase Orders, open existing Purchase Orders and create new ones.

To open an existing Purchase Order, click the hyperlink under the name header.

To create a new Purchase Order, click the Add Purchase Order button near the top right-hand corner and select either Quote or Order.
