FAQ OF THE MONTH Purchase Orders are used to track what you have ordered from vendors. It's an easy way to control costs in two ways: it prevents a staff member from placing unapproved orders, and it keeps vendors from overcharging for their services. The Purchase Orders FAQ answers frequently-asked purchase order questions by Clients & Profits users.


Why do job tasks need a debit and credit G/L account number? Why doesn't Clients & Profits print payroll checks? Why should you use the Cash Flash? Get the inside information from the Accounting FAQs page.

With a scanner and Photoshop, your shop's logo can be pasted into your Clients & Profits database. This means invoices, estimates, purchase orders, insertion orders, and statements can be printed on plain paper, replacing expensive stationery or complicated preprinted forms.
