When you receive a request to purchase an item, you can enter the information on a purchase order. Using purchase orders allows you to enter information for orders that will be placed with a vendor.
You can print purchase orders to send to the vendor, or enter the information to encumber the appropriate funds without printing (Accounting Only).
To encumber funds is to make a claim against them or reserve them for a specific expense. Purchase orders are usually prepared referencing a batch number, which is then used for updating to the account master. The update process marks the monies as encumbered.
The system can be set so that a budget capacity check can be run when entering a Purchase Order.
See WESPaC Financial Management Purchase Order Configuration User’s Guide for more information.
