| Purchase Order System For Home Builder-
This system ( I have to say ) is extremely cool. The
process for creating purchase orders for lumber for home builders
can be tedious. This system was developed for a large home
builder for issuing purchase orders for lumber. The cost
savings by using this system are enormous! The system is
extremely flexible for importing material takeoff from Excel
spreadsheets directly into the purchase order database. It is
not necessary to have a takeoff for every home built because the
imported takeoffs can be modified and copied in the system as home
plans are changed. Another flexible aspect of this purchase
order system is the way vendor pricing is imported from Excel
spreadsheets. Vendors submit their pricing for materials in a
pre-defined format that is then imported directly into the database.
Once the material takeoff and the vendor pricing is imported then
purchase orders can be issued. The user creates a Job Order by
selecting the takeoff, and related home plan options for a home to
be built. Then the system creates a summary list of materials for
that home, which the user can modify if desired. Once the
material list is approved, then the system calculates the material
pricing based on the vendor pricing that was imported. The
system can recognize vendors who only server local areas versus
vendors that serve national areas. The user then can select
the vendor pricing based on low total cost or by low cost code cost.
Once the vendor is selected for a purchase the user can issue the
purchase orders. One of the cool features of this system is
that purchase orders can be printed or they can be emailed directly
to the vendor, project manager and accounting. It is a full
featured system run by menus and forms with lots of printouts and
exports to excel if desired. For those home builders wanting to save money on their home builder lumber buying software. |
