Introduction to the Purchase Item Register

This is a separate Item register, containing information about all those Items that are normally purchased by your business. Each Item can have several different corresponding Purchase Items. For example, if the same Item is available from different Suppliers, there should be a separate Purchase Item for each Supplier.

Typically, the Purchase Item register will be used by companies that purchase products for resale as it is a means of recording Supplier and Cost information for each Item. In particular, the Purchase Item register must be used if you will be creating Purchase Orders in batches, either to satisfy outstanding Sales Orders or to ensure stocks of Items are above specified minimum levels. If your business tends to sell services, or manufactures Items for sale, you may not need to use the Purchase Item register.
