You will be able to create Capex Purchase Orders* that will create new equipment in your farmerswife Object Manager.
*Capex (Capital Expenditure) Purchase Orders are used to track and authorize the acquisition of long-term assets.
Prerequisites:
1. The EMT module must be licensed.
2. Set the category/type where all new Objects will be created in.
In the Server Setup under the Financial tab, go to Outgoing Purchase Order > Create New Objects In.
Select the category/type for new equipment to be added when created from a PO Check-In. This setting allows you to choose one of the three Object categories: Suites/Workstations, Equipment/Machines, or Facility, where your new Objects will be created.
3. Set the Custom Field Template that holds any other Custom Field information that should be scanned when scanning the Inventory Number for the new Objects.
Go to the Object Manager > drop down menu > Setup Custom Fields > Objects> select the template that holds the Custom Field data for your equipment. Click on the drop down menu and select > Set As Default.
Create new Objects with a Capex PO:
Open a new Purchase Order, and after having filled in the necessary data, select the option in the drop down menu: "Buy New Objects". A list of all Object Classes will appear, so choose one Object Class at a time.
Those items will be added as Units and can't be changed. Adjust the amount of Units and the price if necessary and add another Object Class to the Purchase Order.
Once all equipment that should be purchased is added, make sure to approve the Purchase Order if it is in "Waiting For Approval" or get the PO to be approved.
Approval process:
Approver: If you are the approver and you have received an email for the approval or checked the "Waiting For Approval" Purchase Orders, once you approve a PO you will get a message asking you: "Would You Like To Create The CheckIn For This PO's Objects Now?" By clicking OK, the PO will close and the PO Check In will get created. It is then displayed in the right upper corner with a link to access it directly from the PO window. Click on the link to proceed with the creation of the Objects.
If you are the one creating the PO and also allowed to approve POs yourself, you can choose to approve the PO right away which will prompt the message: "Would You Like To Create The CheckIn For This PO's Objects Now?" and thus create the PO Checkin for you. Or you can choose to approve it later and you will be prompted with the message at that stage. You can always choose to click on Create Check In For Remaining xx Units, to create the Purchase Order Check In (PO Checkin).
Once you clicked on "Yes" the PO Check In will get auto created and the PO window will close.
A new PO link is now displayed in the upper right corner. By clicking on it the PO Check In window will open where you can set the Collection Date and Time and the Collection Method if needed.
By default the date is set to today and the hours to the very moment you create this Check In.
In the upper right corner of this window you will see the Purchase Order icon (an orange shopping cart) and in blue a link "Ordered From: Name of Supplier" to access the Purchase Order associated with it.
In the PO Check In window the PO lines with its units will be displayed as headers, listing below all units as a separate item line. Those PO line headers can be expanded and collapsed.
Once you click on OK in this PO Check In a message appears: " xx New Objects Will Be Created In "Equipment/Machines", which will create those items lines as Objects in the Object Manager. (The category where these Objects will be created can be set in the Server Setup > Financial tab > Outgoing Purchase Order).
Once the Check In has been final (click the Purchase Order icon (little orange cart) will show in the column "Location Change Date". 
In the "Current Dispatch Status" columns you will see "Ordered From: PO's Supplier".
Clicking on OK will also directed you back to the Purchase Order window.
The Purchase Order will now have the link to Purchase Order Dispatch (PO Dispatch) in the upper right corner. You can click on it and access the Dispatch window. 
Dispatch Module workflow:
As soon as the PO Check In has been created and the delivery times have been confirmed, this will show for the Kitroom operators as a Delivery or Collection Task.
The Dispatch will be created in a Pending Status. You can set it manually to "In Progress" and add Sub Statuses to it.
To add an Inventory Number to it or scan any additional information go ahead as follows:
- Highlight the first line of the PO lines inside of the Dispatch.
- The field "Set And Verify Inventory Number" will be highlighted in yellow and allows you to barcode scan or type the Inventory Number into it.
- By hitting Enter or clicking the barcode scanner the Inventory Number will be added into the "Number" column and to the Object in the Object Manager.
- farmerswife will jump automatically to the next line so you can keep on scanning in objects in an easy and fast way.
If any additional data needs to be scanned in when registering the new equipment. Highlight the line where you need to add more information to the Object and select the drop down menu next to the field "Set And Verify Inventory Number" > Set Object Field > select any of the fields needed.
After selecting a custom field, such as "Serial Number," the scanning field will be renamed to match the chosen field. When you proceed to enter the Serial Number, a new column labeled "Serial Number" will appear in the Dispatch window.
By double clicking on any Dispatch line, the Object window will open and you can adjust certain information directly from the Dispatch.
Good to know:
If you created a Purchase Order (PO) with a specific supplier and subsequently generated a PO Check In, and later decide to change the supplier, you will need to manually update this information both on the PO and the PO Check In. However, the Location Change Date and the PO link on the PO Check In will always refer back to the originally selected supplier.
