Functionality Summary:

1. Purchase orders are created in AbitRol^®. These can be issued to suppliers.
2. Once the supplier ships the order, an electronic manifest is transmitted. The User can 'process' this into inventory and begin tracking the usage of the rolls.
3. Consumption and runnability information is added by the production site (i.e. rolls used, job name, date, waste factors, breaks).
4. Reports can be generated from a comprehensive suite allowing informed decision making.
