Increase control over your purchase orders

Keep control over your Purchase Orders (PO) with the Purchase Order Control add on for Sage 50 Accounts.

The Purchase Order Control add on will alert you via email once a PO has been raised that needs authorisation. You’ll then be able to reject or approve the PO which will not be processed until the authoriser has granted permission.

Benefits of the Purchase Order Control include:

  • Greater control over budgeting with spending limits and authorisation processes.
  • A clear audit trail for all Purchase Orders raised.
  • Restricted user access to Sage 50 Accounts to protect the integrity of your data.
  • Save money on extra Sage licenses by reducing the number of users required.

Hierarchy Structure

Create different hierarchies within your teams and users, so that different levels of authorisation can be applied. This means you can set authorisers within teams, and if there is no authoriser assigned for a team, the PO can be escalated until there is somebody authorised approve it.

Spending Limits and Budgets

Keep an eye on your spending by creating individual spending limits and budgets for users and teams, as well as overall budgets.

Restrictions

Keep control of how Purchase Orders are used by applying restrictions to nominal codes, supplier codes, departments, products, funds and cost codes for individual users or apply to a group policy.

Auto-send to supplier

Purchase Order Controller will automatically email the supplier once the PO has been approved, so there are no delays.

All electronic

POC removes the risk of losing documents and chasing paper with its all-electronic processes. All requests and approvals are done via email.

No Additional Sage Licenses Required

To use POC you don’t need extra Sage users, for example you can have 50 POC users with only 2 Sage users.

Easily Accessible

The POC is compatible with Sage 50cloud & Sage 50 Accounts (Essentials, Standard, Plus and Professional) v20 (2014) and above.
