Purchase Order Lines
To maintain information about the specific items which are being purchased under a specific regular purchase order, use the Purchase Order Lines form. Information about items being purchased under a blanket purchase order should be entered on the Purchase Order Blanket Lines form.
Information about the vendor is maintained on the Purchase Orders form. All regular purchase order lines must be associated with a header previously entered on the Purchase Orders form.
The line/release record contains this information:
- Quantity to be purchased
- Cost
- Price
- Quantity received
- Status
If you change costs on a PO line that is cross-referenced to a job material, use the Costs tab to select the Update Job Material Unit Cost field on this form before saving the record.
Use the Drop Ship tab to indicate where shipments are to be sent.
- When you select Warehouse from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the warehouse in which to fill the purchase order.
- When you select Drop Ship To from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the drop ship to number associated with the desired address.
- When you select Customer from the Drop Ship To field, the system prompts for the associated customer number and the ship to sequence number for the desired address.
The fields in the EU VAT tab are used by the European Union (EU). If the Activate EU Reporting field on the General Parameters form is not selected, this tab (or some fields on this tab) are disabled.
Use the Lots tab when you issue or receive a lot-tracked item. This tab is enabled when you select Preassign Lots.
The Allocate Landed Costs activity is accessible from the menu.
The menu also includes options to filter the data to show only lines where the due date is 7, 14 or 30 days in the future, and an option to show only lines where the due date is any number of days past due. You can also choose List Change Log, List Receipts, List Goods Receiving Notes, and List Purchase Order Requisition Lines.
You can cross-reference a purchase order line to a SRO planned material transaction. When you update the material cost of a PO item, then save the PO line record, this message is displayed: Update cross-referenced SRO will be performed.
