Purchase Order application effects in Billing
You can use the Purchase Order application to order items from a vendor. You can receive the items into your inventory or have the vendor ship the items directly to your customer. Certain aspects of the Purchase Order application setup can affect the Billing application.
Procurement groups
The procurement group contains setup values for companies. You can assign each company to only one procurement group. You can assign multiple companies to the same procurement group. The procurement group assignment for a company makes all vendors and buyers assigned to the procurement group available for that company, and any other companies assigned to the same procurement group. To use a contract for more than one company, you can establish contracts for a procurement group.
Comment types
You can define comment types to group item comments into user-defined types. For example, comment type S represents shipping instructions and comment type A represents assembly instructions.
