Purchase Order issue

Issue is the Lawson terminology used to describe the process of sending a purchase order to a vendor. The terminology "issue" includes all of the possible methods for delivering the purchase order to the vendor.

There are several methods of issue available. You can issue via Internet e-mail, fax, EDI, or paper. Or you can select not to issue at all.

Both online and mass issue forms allow you to issue draft and final copies of the purchase order. You can also select the original and revised issue method, and specify what to include on revised purchase orders.

You can issue a final copy of a purchase order only after it has been released. However, you can issue a draft copy at any time before it is released, and as many times as necessary. Any changes made to the purchase order after the final copy has been issued are considered revisions.
