Purchase Orders

Use this form to create an order to formally request items or services. Once the request is made and approved, use the purchase order to authorize payment and ensure that the correct items are received.

You can create both regular purchase orders and blanket orders on this form. To create a blanket order, select Blanket in the Type field. To create a regular purchase order, select Regular in the Type field.

When you create a purchase order, the system sets the item prices on the Purchase Order Lines and Purchase Order Blanket Lines forms using the vendor/item cross reference pricing method from the Vendors form.

The status of the purchase order must be Ordered to be able to change the updateable fields on the Purchase Orders form.

If a purchase order was created in the field using the mobile app, the authorization number is displayed in the Auth# field.

The Allocate Landed Costs activity is accessible from the Actions menu.

Note: If you are integrated with Distribution SX.e, then the Vendor field is disabled after a purchase order is created.
