Program Details

Easy to Use  .  .  .
.
AnyPO: The Purchase Order System is a comprehensive purchase order and requisition program that is remarkable for its ease of use.  You'll find it a refreshing and delightful change in business software.

AnyPO is available in two levels: AnyPO I and AnyPO II.   AnyPO I is a good starter program for businesses, while AnyPO II builds upon that solid foundation and provides more options and a larger range of features.  The two programs are compatible.  AnyPO II will accept and automatically convert AnyPO I files.

Here are more details . . .






Features Common to Both AnyPO I and AnyPO II

The program has the ability to apply discounts to products individually or all together.  Included among its features are polished and refined pop-ups to find and paste vendors or products.   You can copy a vendor's name and address from an email message or a word document and paste the whole works to a PO.  You can also add personal notes to a PO.

You can lock POs after using them to prevent inadvertent changes.  It uses the concept of Open and Closed POs which helps you keep track of unfilled orders.  It has a sophisticated filter feature which allows you to limit the display to selected vendors, or to vendors from which you have ordered a certain product, etc.  There are dozens of combinations to choose from.

It includes an Advanced Search feature which allows you to search certain fields or select various conditions to narrow down the search.  You can find open POs, notes that you've left for yourself, shipping dates, tracking numbers, PO numbers, etc.   If desired, you can add logos or other graphics to printed POs and statements.

The program also includes an email export feature which allows you to attach a copy of the PO to an email message.  Attachments can be text, Microsoft Word, or an HTML web document.  You can also place the entire PO into the clipboard and move it into an email or word processing program. 

Among AnyPO's telephony features, you can click on a button on the Main PO Screen or within the Vendor Contact Manager and your computer will dial the phone number.  You can have the phone dialer key-in the individual's extension or menu choice numbers automatically for you.

It includes batch printing routines for POs.  Instead of printing each PO individually, you can select from a list and the  program will print all selected POs or statements at once, freeing you to do other things.

Other features include a currency conversion function.  The conversion dialog box allows you to establish exchange rates for those countries with which you do business.  Once the rates are established, you can choose a currency from the list, and the PO will be converted into the appropriate values of the new currency.  When printed, the PO will also include the appropriate ISO country code of the currency.  Moreover, AnyPO will internally remember the original values of the purchase orders, and when desired you can convert the PO back to your base currency.

It includes a contact manager, shipping method list, vendor database, stock ordering  database, look-up features, sorting abilities, an alternative product entry screen, and much more.





Features Found in AnyPO II 

Our new Level II program (AnyPO II) has even more features.  It includes all of the features of the basic program, plus the following. . . .

One of its most innovative features is a Look-up feature.  Click on the "Look-up" button on the Main Purchase Order Screen and a display of past ordered items appears.  You can easily narrow down the list by typing in a keyword.  For example, type in "Paper" and only those products with "paper" in their descriptions will be listed.  You can sort by cost to find the most economical, or by vendor, or by several other methods.  The items that you select from the list are automatically added to the Item list on the PO.  You can also indicate that you want the Vendor's name and address filled in.

Another useful feature with the Level II program is a Vendor Command Center.  The Command Center gives you a "vendor-centric" view of your purchase order activity.  Along with basic information about the vendor is a list of all PO's that you have issued to the vendor.   You can obtain a list of all items ordered from the vendor, move to any of the Vendor's PO's for review, or create a new PO for the vendor.

You have greater flexibility with user defined fields.  You can set-up one field as an account field.   To make it easier to enter account numbers, you can create a list of account codes and descriptions.  Once the list is set-up, you can activate it by clicking a button.  Select from the list and AnyPO will insert the code for you.  You can code the entire PO, or you can code individual items on the PO.  You can even direct the program to require a code before moving on to a new PO.

Another useful feature with AnyPO II is the ability to set-up a series of different shipping locations.  There is no limit to the number of different locations you can enter.

The AnyPO II program handles the most complex tax situations.  A single PO can have up to 5 taxes added to it.  It will handle Canadian taxes and will, when required, calculate the GST tax based on the cost of goods plus the provincial tax.  For European PO's, it will handle VAT tax and include the VAT number on PO's.  It has explanatory lines on the printed PO, when needed, to break-out tax percentages.  And, it will handle situations where you need to charge a different tax depending on the vendor.

The AnyPO II program will create printed PO's in different languages.  The language translation feature also may be used to change the label of any field on the printed PO.

Included with AnyPO II is an alternative numbering module.  Like the basic program, you can add prefixes or suffixes to PO number, but with Level II, you can also use different numbering systems.  It is possible to add or subtract off of AnyPO's internal number, or if, desired, you can start over each year with a new set of numbers.

With the AnyPO II system, you have the ability to set-up program "users."  You can determine the access level for each user and whether or not you want the user to have access to certain features of the program.  For example, you may wish to prevent a general user from having the ability to delete PO's.  Users can be set-up through a log-in system -- or, if a log-in system in not appropriate for your business, you can set an access level on the user's computer without requiring a log-in.

Finally, AnyPO II includes an electronic approval system.  You can set-up certain individuals to have PO approval authority.   Additionally, you can indicate how many different individuals are required to approve PO's. 

There's more, of course, but, at this point, you'll probably want to take a look for yourself.  Feel free to download the program.  Most everything is turned on. We have a few features turned off for piracy concerns but if you'd like to evaluate those, let us know and we'll provide you with a temporary code.
