Creating an EDI Purchase Order (Outbound 850/ORDERS)

To request items or services from your vendor, use the Purchase Orders form. Once you have created this record, you can send this information to the vendor electronically as an Outbound Purchase Order 850/ORDERS transaction.

Enter and save the appropriate data in the Purchase Orders form.
Run the Purchase Order Report, which extracts the EDI purchase orders.

The purchase order print routine checks the vendor of each selected purchase order to see if they should be sent EDI purchase orders (as indicated in the EDI Vendor Profiles form). If so, then the purchase order data is extracted into EDI.

Note: Each time you reprint a purchase order, it re-extracts the purchase order data.
To export your purchase order(s) to the vendor, use the EDI Transaction Unload Routine.
