The Purchasing functional area is used to store all Vendor data and enter all purchasing transactions. The main tasks performed include maintaining vendor data, importing and/or entering AP Invoices, and building AP check and payment batches to pay vendors. The Purchasing functional area integrates with the Financial, Fisherman Accounting, Grower Accounting, and Sales Program functional areas. The purpose of the Purchasing Preference Page is to configure how these features work. From here, users can set defaults, identify which features are used, and how the enabled features perform.
