Things to do before POP

Before you set up Purchase Order Processing
You should complete setup procedures in Payables Management and Inventory
Control before you set up Purchase Order Processing. If you haven’t completed all
of the following tasks, be sure to do so before continuing.
• Set up Payables Management
• Create vendor cards
• Enter beginning inventory quantities
• Set up item records (be sure to assign price lists and vendor items)
• Set up item sites
• Set up inventory and purchasing accounts in the Posting Accounts Setup
window
To view the Posting Accounts Setup window, choose Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >>
Tools >> Setup >> Posting >> Posting Accounts and then select to view Inventory or
Purchasing accounts.
Be sure you’ve also completed the setup procedures for your company, currency,
checkbooks, and posting options. Tax schedules and tax details also should be set
up. For more information about completing these procedures, refer your System
Setup instructions (Help >> Contents >> select Setting Up the System).
If you’re using landed costs, be sure to set up landed cost records and groups before
you set up Purchase Order Processing. For details, see the Inventory Control
documentation.
If you’re using Multicurrency Management, be sure to set up currencies, exchange
rate tables, and rate types before you set up Purchase Order Processing. For details,
see the Multicurrency Management documentation.
