Production Orders

Purchase Additional Raw Materials

To manufacture Snack Bars, we need to purchase the remaining raw materials. Previously, we

created a purchase requisition, then used the requisition to develop a production order. This

time, we will create a production order directly.

Note: We will only be purchasing and receiving the raw materials.

We will not receive an invoice or make a payment to the vendor.

Also, this section will only provide an overview of the purchase

order process.
