The Purchase Order functionality, as an additional feature for electronic circulation and approval of purchase documents, allows users to, among other things quickly create purchase orders add any number and format of documents to an order, assign an order to a specific cost category and budget, send automatic email alerts to people in the order approval path (e.g. per department, cost category, financial limit), which, incidentally, can be freely parameterised, and instantly view the full approval history of each order. Once the order has been approved, the NOVO PM module will automatically link the order to the purchase invoice(s), with automatic checking of the cost category, amount (for which the order was approved), budget utilisation (including adding the recorded invoice to the balance) with automatic "forwarding" for additional approval in the event of overruns/discrepancies. Users also have access to an extensive order register, with the ability to analyse data using multiple filters and instantly export reports to .xls format.
