Creating purchase orders from order requests

An order request is a file that contains a request for items or services. Order requests can originate from Requisitions, Inventory Control, and Order Entry applications. When the Purchase Order application receives order requests from other applications it stores the requests in an interface file. You initiate the creation of purchase orders with one of two programs in the Purchase Order application: Purchase Order Interface (PO100) and Purchase Order Worksheet (PO23.1).
