Status

On the Landed Cost form, the status of the purchase order displays and is view only. Since the Landed Cost form only displays costs for History POs, the only status that can display on the Landed Cost form is History.

On the Purchase Orders form, the status of the purchase order displays (but you can overwrite it). There are four valid codes describing the status of the PO header:

Note:  MRP and APS plan only purchase orders with Planned or Ordered status.
  • Planned: The default for new purchase orders, this status indicates that the PO is valid but has not yet been sent to the vendor. The status remains Planned while all of the line/releases associated with the order are in the Planned state.
  • Ordered: When all purchase order lines/releases have a status of Planned, the purchase order status can be set to Ordered. The PO can hold other line/releases in any mix of the statuses.
  • Complete: A purchase order has a status of Complete if all of its line/releases have statuses of Complete, that is, they have all been received and vouchered. In order for the PO header status to qualify as Complete, each line/release's quantity vouchered must equal the quantity received.
  • History: The PO should no longer be listed along with the currently active purchase orders. After manually changing the History status, the purchase order is moved to a separate Purchasing History file, where it is maintained for reference and copying purposes.

On the Transfer Order Landed Costs form, the status of the transfer order displays but can be overwritten. There are three valid codes describing the status of the TO header:

  • Transit: The default for new transfer orders, this status indicates that some activity (usually a ship activity) has occurred relative to the TO.
  • Ordered: Contains at least one line/release with a line/release status of Ordered. The TO can hold other line/releases in any mix of the statuses.
  • Complete: All line/releases have a status of Complete, that is, they have all been received and vouchered.

On the Purchase Orders, Purchase Order Line/Releases (top portion of the form) and Purchase Order Receiving forms, the status of the purchase order displays.
