AnyPO is available as a program which stands on its own, but it is also integrated into AnyBook (publishing business software) and AnyOrder (order processing software).  When integrated, AnyBook (and AnyOrder) become parent programs to AnyPO.

This is a mutually beneficial arrangement since it allows AnyBook and AnyOrder users to create requisitions and purchase orders.  Even more importantly, it allows the exchange of inventory data from the purchase order system to the invoicing system.  As inventory is purchased, it can be tracked in either of the parent programs.  In other words, the program knows how much inventory is coming in and how much inventory is going out.  The end result is that you always know exactly how much inventory you have left in your warehouse.

The integration of the program also allows you to create drop ship orders in which the vendor ships the product directly to the customer.  AnyPO provides you with two methods of instituting drop ship orders including single and multi-vendor methods.

Note that this since this help documentation was written for all users, it utilizes the terminology:  Level I, Level II, and Level III.  That's equivalent to AnyBook/AnyOrder Level V (5), Level VI (6), and Level VII (7).
