What are Ad-Hoc Orders?
Ad Hoc orders are orders that can be sent on an ad hoc basis to suppliers as an additional order to any orders that may be "pending" for sending to that particular supplier.
You may have a number of products on "pending" for a particular supplier that you need to send as an urgent order prior to sending the order that is 'pending'.
One other use of "Ad Hoc" orders is where an order that has not been set up on the Rx 365 system lands on the shop floor. In order to keep the stock quantities correct and to keep a record of all purchase orders, it is a useful tool to be able to set up an "Ad Hoc" order on the spot.
Note: Ad Hoc orders will never be sent to Head Office for approval.
