ADMINISTRATION Tool Kit:
PURCHASING TOOL
The purchasing system is designed to assist the purchasing
manager in determining the amount of each food item to purchase,
create bid sheets, hold vendor and contract information, and print
purchase orders and requisitions. The user can have the system select
items to be purchased through a "par level" methodology or can select
items based on cycle menu requirements. Orders received can be verified,
and the inventory system can be updated.
Electronic price updates can be
relayed from vendor computers, and purchase orders can be electronically
transferred to the vendor's order entry system, again, significantly
reducing the requirement for manual data entry.
