If the price change is found before the PO is received, the PO can be unsubmitted and the price changed then the PO can be resubmitted and received at the changed price. Sometimes, however, the changed price is discovered after […]

Prepaying a Purchase Order
The typical PO flow in Accolent ERP is to create and submit a PO, receive the PO, then create a voucher tied to the PO and PO receipt(s) and then to pay the vendor. Sometimes, this flow could be reversed. For example, a PO could be shipped FOB with the recipient taking ownership prior to […]
Using HTS Import Duty with Landed Costs
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) is based on the international Harmonized System, which is the global system of nomenclature applied to most world trade in goods. HTS sets out the tariff rates and statistical categories for all merchandise exported from or imported into the United States. HTS Schedule B Codes are 10-digit […]
Skipping Serial No Entry on POs
Accolent ERP tracks serialized products from receipt on a purchase order through sale to a customer. This enables tracking of the product for warranty or recall purposes. Sometimes, particularly in situations where repairs are performed, serial numbers may be used only for the purpose of identifying products. In these cases, Accolent ERP allows for entry […]
Inventory Replenishment Overview
Accolent ERP uses the Min/Max reordering methodology. The Min value represents the reorder point, and the Max value represents the targeted stock level after reordering. The difference between the Max and the Min is sometimes referred to as the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity). The Min and Max values may be maintained manually or automatically by the […]
Using Multiple UOMs
Accolent ERP allows the use of multiple UOMs. One UOM must be selected as the Stocking UOM, and one as the Pricing UOM. All inventory quantities in the system are kept in the Stocking UOM. All prices and costs: List Price, Standard Cost, Alternate Cost and Special Cost are kept in the Pricing UOM. Similarly, […]
Re-sorting Lines on an Order or PO
Accolent ERP allows the user to enter lines on an order and then to assign a Sequence No to each line. The Sequence No allows for the lines on the order to be re-sorted on the screen and on the printed forms based on the assigned Sequence No. The Sequence No field is a decimal […]
Look Up Special Order POs from Invoices
Accolent ERP fully supports Special Orders which are sales orders for special order items that are automatically linked to POs. Once linked a sales order can only be filled from its linked PO. On occasion, after the PO is received and the Invoice sent, it may be necessary to look up the PO from the […]
WMS PO Receiving with Separate Put-Away
The Accolent WMS system allows for Receiving a PO that was previously entered into Accolent ERP. There is a system configuration that specifies whether PO quantity verification and put-away happen together or separately. Set the configuration for separate processes if, for example, goods are unloaded and verified on the dock and then subsequently put-away by […]
Special Order Costs
Accolent ERP has extensive special order functionality. A special order links a sales order line item directly to a PO. Unlike other inventory transactions that take the sales order cost from the Average Cost, special orders get the sales order cost directly from the linked PO. Typically, the default PO cost is set up on […]
