Released Purchase Order Generation |
|
The Released Purchase Order Generation function is used to create released purchase orders dependent on the mode selected on the PO Line Defaults tab.
Released purchase orders can be printed via the Released Purchase Order Generation or Purchase Orders or Print Documentation functions.
To release a purchase order, the following three steps are to be followed:
| 1. | Add a purchase order header on the PO Header tab. |
| 2. | Enter purchase order line defaults on the PO Line Defaults tab. The data entered on this tab will be defaulted to the individual lines selected on the Detail For Order tab. |
| 3. | On the Detail For Order tab, enter data as per the mode selected on the PO Line Defaults tab. |
The function can perform the conversion to a foreign currency and different unit of measure. This allows the purchase of items from a supplier who deals in a foreign currency and/or a different unit of measure. The purchase order can also be printed and previewed via the functions, Print Documentation and Purchase Orders Overview tab. The number of copies can be specified and a printer selected.
For non stocked and service requisitions where the payment currency on the requisition is not equal to the base currency, the system will when the user via the conversion screen changes the base price, automatically update the base unit price on the non stocked requisition and the base required amount on a service requisition.
Note: This will only be done if the foreign amount (This is the amount authorised by the responsible account or node person) is not changed.
This change of the base amounts is also subject to the normal requisition rules.
