Purchase Orders

Consolidating a Purchase Order

Purchase Order > Consolidate Order button

When identical items appear more than once on your Purchase Order, FrameReady can find them and create a total count of these repeat items. This is a friendly way of preparing a Purchase Order, in addition to saving paper.

How to Consolidate Items on a Purchase Order

Only moulding, matboard and glass items can be totalled automatically by using the Consolidate button.

Several things need to be kept in mind when using the Order Consolidated feature:

• Only moulding, fillets and liners identified in the Unit field as Length will be consolidated.

• A Purchase Order cannot be consolidated if the radio button is marked as Received.

• Items ordered by Chop or Join will not be consolidated.
  
  For Chop or Join items the dimensions are shown in Width x Height fields and the Qty field identifies the number of frames to be ordered.

• The Consolidate feature cannot be undone once the button is clicked.

• Matboard: identical items (E.g.. B8801) will be consolidated and rounded up to the nearest whole number. Individual items which require less than a whole sheet will be rounded up to 1 (E.g.. C1585)

Tip: Change partial amounts, such as .5 or .25, to whole numbers, such as 1, because some vendors cannot see the decimal and will send you 5 or 25 boards.

• After clicking Consolidate Order, the button label changes to read Order Consolidated. All length moulding and matboard is  totaled, and the Work Order number is removed from those fields (the field cannot accommodate multiple Work Order numbers.)
