Note:

If you do not see a particular report or form that is described, you may have signed in to the system with a user account that does not have access rights to the report or form. Contact your system administrator to obtain access to any needed reports or forms.

Finding Purchase Requests Pending Drop Shipment

You can find purchase requests of the So to Drop-Ship type on the Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) form. On the form, you can filter purchase requests by any of the following criteria: warehouse, vendor, order type, order number, inventory ID, item class, customer, product manager, and workgroup.

You can generate purchase orders of the Drop-Ship type for all the listed purchase requests, or you can select particular purchase requests (by selecting the unlabeled check boxes in the rows) and generate these purchase orders.

Reviewing the Purchase Order Linked to a Sales Order Line

You can find the purchase order that is linked to a particular line of a sales order by clicking the sales order line on the Details tab of the Sales Orders (SO301000) form, and then clicking PO Link on the table toolbar. The Purchasing Details dialog box, which opens, lists all the purchase orders that are linked to the selected line of the sales order.

Printing Reports and Documents

To prepare a printable form of the purchase order that is being processed, you use the Purchase Order (PO641000) report. To do this while you are viewing the purchase order on the Purchase Orders (PO301000) form, you click Print Purchase Order on the More menu. The system opens the printable version of the purchase order on the Purchase Order report; after you review the order, you can print it by clicking Print on the report toolbar.
