Example of a Purchase Order:
When this checkbox is selected, it will add more space between the lines within the Purchase Orders’ Items.
This is to enable better access when used from a Touchscreen.
When the Stock Purchases function is accessed via Transactions > Stock Control > Stock Purchases and the 'Add' button is pressed, these default settings will apply.
The 'Live Stock Updating' checkbox enables the ability to display and modify each Stock Item's Department and Sell Price in a Stock Purchase/Stock Receive (via Transactions > Stock Control > Stock Purchases > Add/Modify).
The Price Level dropdown box enables the selection of the Price Level which will be used for the Live Stock Updating function.
Any changes to a Stock Item's Department and/or Sell Price will be replicated immediately to all networked POS Terminals.
Any changes to a Stock Item's Sell Price will be reflected in the Price Changes Report (Reports > Stock Control > Price Changes).
Further details about the Live Stock Updating function are available in the Stock Purchases or Stock Received topics.
Programmable Barcodes are also outlined in the Ishida Uni 5 Interface topic.

When processing invoices from Suppliers, they may charge you additional fees to the items that you have ordered to have the stock delivered to you.
You may need to create a Purchase Category to accommodate these charges.
Go to File > Purchases > Purchase Categories > Add.
You also have the ability to define the tax rates charged against these categories.
The rates are defined on the Sales tab of Global Options.
This section will only appear when the Head Office module is enabled in the Licence Gateway.
