Vendor Change Purchase Order Stage Entry overview

Vendor > Entry > Change Purchase Order Stage

Function acronym: APEMS

Use this page to change the stage of a Stage 6 or Stage 7 purchase order.

You can change a purchase order that is in Stage 6 (Costing) and fully costed to Stage 7 (Closed). You can reopen a purchase order in Stage 7 (Closed) to post third-party addon charges. You can also use this function to close purchase orders that were left open.

You can only access this function if your security allows you to change purchase orders.

As you change each purchase order’s stage, the system updates the Last Updated By field in the Purchase Order header record with the operator’s initials. This field cannot be viewed during record inquiries, but you can print it on the Vendor Master List Report.
