The Easiest Ways to Keep Track of Receiving Purchase Orders

Purchase orders are a vital part of every eCommerce business. You need to have purchase orders because they serve as a legally binding document between the buyer and supplier. The purchase order protects both the buyer and vendor and is crucial for inventory management. Before advanced technological solutions were available, tracking purchase orders was a complicated nightmare. Luckily, modern technology offers powerful solutions for every step of tracking purchase orders, especially receiving them. Learn more about how the process of receiving purchase orders has changed and how Listing Mirror will make it a breeze.

The Old Method: Manual Purchase Order Tracking

The traditional method for purchase order tracking involved a lot of paper, time, and headache. Purchase orders used to be filled out on paper and submitted to the supplier by hand or on a typewriter. This old process required multiple copies in different colors so that the paperwork could all be correctly attached and filed. With so many papers, it was easy to forget or misplace one, which could lead to paying for an incorrect invoice number. Manually processing purchase orders by hand had many downfalls. Some of the main issues with this old method include:

• Inaccurate and error-prone
• Tedious, lengthy task
• Inconsistencies
• Costly and time-consuming
