Purchase Order Lookup

Usage and Operation

The purchase order lookup window is used to create, search, view, and optionally select purchase orders for receiving, editing, or printing. It is accessed from the main menu. On the main menu click the inventory option, then click 'Purchase'.

There are several options available to assist the user in locating any given purchase order. The user may display items in purchase order number, vendor name, or vendor id sequence by clicking on the appropriate button or pressing the Alt-P, Alt-N, or Alt-V respectively. The default sequence is by purchase order number. The page up, page down, and arrow keys may be used to move the display. While the user has the purchase orders displayed in any of the allowable sequences he may "Get near" to a purchase order pressing the 'G' key and entering a portion of the PO number, vendor name, or vendor Id depending on the current display sequence. To cancel a purchase order highlight the order to cancel and click the cancel button or press alt-L. To exit or quit the product lookup window click the exit button or press the 'Esc' key.
