Receiving Purchase Orders at a Remote Store via Android stock taking mobile App

In general remote stores can place purchase orders.


Then these remote stores need ability to do a receiving of the placed purchase order(s). (Receiving a PO)

QuickBooks point of sales Multi-Store software has the ability to set up remote stores that all belong to one franchise. (Enterprise in Linga POS’ case)

I am requesting feature: Receiving PO’s at Remote Store via Android stock taking mobile App.

Why? Because clients demand (theft) accountability at point of receiving the goods at the remote store. This is why in QuickBooks point-of-sale system you do a receiving of the purchase order 

at the remote store location 

by the store manager of that remote store

This way the accountability rests at the manager of this particular remote store/location.

How it works:

Purchase orders placed will be available for viewing at the headquarters computer. (for those users with the right enterprise login credentials)

Purchase orders for store #1 should be available for view for the store manager at store #1 ONLY. Meaning Store #2 does not have a need to view Store #1 PO’s. Only show the list of PO's generated for Store #1.

This is how it used to work in QuickBooks point-of-sale multi-store software.

The store manager of store #1 will see a list of purchase orders, displayed&marked as 

PO’s Closed/processed

or 

PO’s still open/unprocessed. 

In this example, Store #1 manager can click and choose which from a list of unprocessed PO they are going to RECEIVE.



my suggestion is to speed up, optimize and simplify the whole process:

Use your android stock taking app and expand its capabilities.

In this example, store #1 manager should login to the main screen button called [Operation]

Once in [Operation] you should add a new category called [Inventory Receiving]. Once clicking on [Inventory Receiving] there should be a QR code that the Android Stock taking app can scan. Why? This way the QR code informs the android Stock taking app in a split second for which Remote Store it will be doing Inventory PO Receiving. This way you automate the process, avoid extra manual mouse clicks or unnecessary screen touches. 

The idea is to make life as simple for your clients. this method is; scan QR code and a second later your client’s remote store manager can process Receiving a PO for their store.

fast, effective and simple.

This is a nice feature to take your Linga POS for Retail purposes to the next level.
