Creating a purchase order 
Requisitions, quotations and previous purchase orders can all be accessed to quickly create a repeat order or a similar new order. Alternatively, a new purchase order can be simply created from scratch.

Allocate purchase orders to more than one cost centre 
Kwikcost allows you to analyse purchases against any number of costs centres. Budgets can be created for each cost centre, with running balances against available budgets.

On-screen user prompts 
With Kwikcost can prompt the stores department, on-screen or via reports, for details of any goods due in, or goods that have been received without an invoice. If part orders are received, users are prompted to receive the balance.




One entry updates entire system

The Kwikcost purchasing module is linked to all other modules in the system. The benefit is that when a materials rate is adjust to reflect a price increase, the stock rates file is updated automatically.

Receive goods 
Kwikcost offers a variety of options for receiving and costing stock inwards, whether materials or outsourced work. You can choose from purchasing, receiving and costing at the same time, or storeroom staff can enter the details separately at a later date. All information can be altered to suit your requirements. Sub orders for goods that are short delivered can be created and prompts set up for over due work.

Calculate the cost of purchases 
When an item is entered on a purchasing order the system will automatically calculate the total price based on the quantity requested. Any supplier discounts will be reflected in the final price.

Partial receipts 
If a partial delivery is received, simply enter the quantity received and the system will keep a record of the quantity outstanding. In each case the Kwikcost purchasing software will calculate the value of goods received to date, and show the balance still outstanding.

Supplier performance 
You can easily monitor the suppliers performance, checking if there are any deilvery or quality issues. Keeping on top of your suppliers is probably one of the best ways to keep your customers happy. Especially as in many cases the supplier may deliver outwork directly to your client - with you being unaware of pending problems. If goods are short delivered, the system easily keeps track of the outstanding quantity or prompts you that the invoice should take note of the reduced quantity delivered.


List goods due to receive 
 
list paper required for jobs

Kwikcost enables you to view or print a list of goods due for delivery. Goods can be highlighted by due date, supplier or product. Details of the delivery can be viewed instantly with the option available to search deeper for more information on the supplier or product.

Stock movement history 
Every purchase order or goods received will generate a record in the supplier and stock record. You can quickly find out how many times a particular supplier has been used and how much has been purchased from them over a given period. The numbers of items bought can also be compared against the numbers sold.
 


Return stock to a supplier 
If the goods received are incorrect, a goods return note can be created and the situation monitored until the supplier issues a credit note. This avoids the situation where goods are returned but no credit note is received. Keep track of the returns to monitor if the supplier is performing well and that the goods are upto standard.

Where time and staff are limited and the user is unable to enter records of purchasing as it happens, Kwikcost purchasing software allows the user to save time and enter purchases, receipts and costing information at the same time.

Built in purchasing controls 
Businesses can set maximum purchasing levels, or allocated a purchasing limit to each user. If a user requires prior authorisation to make a purchase they can create the order, and the system will then force their manager to authorise the purchase before the actual order can be placed. Requests for prior authorisation can be done on-line or via automatically generated e-mails.
