What I need is a system that would manage the Purchasing, Warehouse, receiving, and shipping the process that it would have to follow is the client would give a list of items that they want orded I would put that list on a work sheet. Call my vendors and obtain qoutes for the items, then I would Mark up the cost of the items and then quote the customer. The customer would approve. Than I would want to automaticly generate Purchaser Orders form the worksheet and fax them to the vendors, Recieving will recieve the items and I would be notified. Than we will process them for shippment. That is just a breif explaination of my process.
Listed everything I need in this system.
