Frame Order vs Purchase Order

There are two different ways of ordering supplies. It is possible to use both or select only one.

Frame Order

The Frame Order is a list of the required materials needed for all the work orders that were created since the last Frame Order. All items on a work order are automatically added to the order. The list can be used to verify any existing stock or used as a chop order list. It is sorted by the name in the Supplier field and can be printed without page breaks or one vendor per page.

Several things need to be kept in mind when using this feature:

1. FrameReady finds only those work orders which are in the “incomplete” status. Work orders marked as complete, hold or estimate are omitted.

2. A work order can be de-selected by clicking on the Cancel Frame Order side bar button in the Work Order file.

3. A work order can also be re-selected by clicking the same side bar button when it says, Select for Frame Order.

4. Artwork selected from your Products inventory is included.

5. This document cannot be modified like the PO.

Purchase Order

The Purchase Order (PO) collects the same data as the Frame Order but groups items by the vendor identified in Order From in the Price Codes file. If no vendor is chosen, then the item will not be posted to a PO. The Purchase Order file allows information to be viewed, edited, consolidated and printed. When the materials arrive, the amount received can be automatically transferred to inventory by clicking Accept. All POs created are stored in the Purchase Order file and can be retrieved for viewing or printing or reprinting at any time.
