In Detail
Point Purchasing's order and administration process can be outlined by the following four sections (click the thumbnail screenshots to view the full images):

Administration
This section is typically restricted to a company's controller/accounting person and IT department. From here, administrators can maintain the user, department, project, and other lists. Items can be assigned specific GL codes that can be used for accounting software integration.

Restrict users to specific departments and assign projects and line item types/accounts to departments. The authorization scheme is also maintained here through the assignment of a user's spending limit and job position.

Users
This section is for the end-users of the system and where the order process begins. Users have the option of submitting requisitions, searching their history, authorizing requisitions, and managing their own accounts.

Users stay informed throughout the entire ordering process via email notifications at key stages (authorization, ordering, and receiving). Alternatively, users may check on their requisition's status at any time from the history section.

Point Purchasing will automatically direct the user for appropriate authorization if a requisition is over the user's spending limit.

Purchasing Agent
Place orders from the current requisition screen. Purchasing agents only see requisitions that are approved and ready for ordering. Combine requisitions, change pricing, accounting, and shipping information.Send orders via email directly to vendors. Keep on top of the systems's pending authorizations and change the authorizer of a requisition if needed.

Build your own database of vendor pricing and allow users to order from these approved catalogs. Run powerful reports per vendor, department, project. Quickly determine past pricing history of an item. Send vendors orders via email.

Support for multiple purchasing agents, multiple tax rates, and line item discounts.

Receiving Agent
When an order arrives, a receiving agent completes the ordering process by entering the received date and quantity received. An email is generated to the requisitioner stating the parts of the order that have arrived.

If an item needs to be returned to the vendor, the receiving agent can enter the return information and log the status of the return. Emails are sent to the requisitioner and a specified accounting person to note the change.

Line item accounts that require asset tags are entered here. Incomplete orders can be easily tracked and status logged.
