Level III Feature

 

The Level III program allows you to configure the program so that a head purchasing office (or an accounting office) receives requisitions (or purchase orders) from one or more departments.   The final processing of the requisitions or PO's generally occurs at the head office level, though you could make exceptions for PO's below a certain value.

 

Only the departments see their requisitions.   In other words, one department can't see the requisitions of other departments.   If needed, each department can set-up their own network.   For example, you could have AnyPO set up on the department manager's computer, the assistant manager and a couple of clerical workers

 

When the requisition has been approved at the department level, it sent onto the head purchasing office.   Each day when the purchasing agent opens up AnyPO, the program will pop-up a message indicating how many new requisitions have been received by the office.   The requisitions can be then moved into the main purchase order database, and requisitions processed and turned into PO's

 

If needed, the head office computers can also be networked. In other words, you could have AnyPO set up on the purchasing agent's computer along with any assistants and clerical workers.   Different levels of access can be assigned to members of the office.

 

The administrator at the head office can change log-in names & passwords of any individual using AnyPO -- and he or she can do that from their own computer.  This is handy if you have employees who leave the company and you need to set-up a new person with AnyPO.

 

We have developed a couple of short, concise instructional PDF guides on how the program works on from a departmental perspective, and also how it works from a head purchasing office perspective.  We've designed the departmental manual so that you can make printed copies of it and distribute them to your departments.   It's quite short, but it provides the essential information on how to create requisitions (or PO's) and then how to move them to the head office.  The manuals are reached by clicking:

Head Office Procedures

 

In addition to the instructional guides, we have prepared step-by-step procedures on how configure the program at both the departmental and head office levels.  The procedures are found in this help documentation:
