  • Normal: A purchase order for products and services that are purchased on credit or paid in cash. This is the most common type of purchase order.
  • Drop-Ship: A purchase order for goods that are delivered directly from the vendor to the customer. The list of items and the shipping instructions are copied automatically from drop-ship sales orders to the drop-ship purchase order.

    This option appears only if the Drop Shipments feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

  • Project Drop-Ship: A purchase order for goods that are delivered directly from the vendor to the job site. The purchase order of the Project Drop-Ship type is always created without a sales order.

    This option appears only if the Projects feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

  • Standard: A purchase order that includes the products purchased regularly in the same quantities from specific vendor and that can be processed repeatedly.

    You can use an order of this type as a template for normal orders. You can create multiple normal purchase orders that are based on and related to the standard purchase order. To create one of these orders, you add the entire standard purchase order (or any number of lines from it) to a new normal purchase order and make any needed edits to the item quantities. Unlike blanket purchase orders, standard orders have no expiration date, and their status does not change to Closed when all products in the related normal orders are received.

The expense account used to record the purchased non-stock item.

Note: If a project is selected in the line, the specified account must be mapped to an account group.

The system determines the expense account by using the following rules:

  • For a line with a non-stock item that does not require receipt (an item with the Service line type), this is the account specified in the COGS/Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items form.
  • For a line with a non-stock item that requires receipt (an item with the Non-Stock Item line type), this is the account specified for the source, which is selected in the Use COGS/Expense Account From box on the Posting Classes form for the item's posting class. This account is debited on the release of an inventory receipt.
  • For a line with a stock item (an item with the Goods for IN line type), the column is empty.
  • For a line of a project drop-ship purchase order, this is the account defined by the settings specified for a project in the Use Expense Account From box on the Defaults tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
  • For an intercompany purchase order, if this is a line with a non-stock item for which the Accrue Cost check box is cleared on the Price/Cost tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form, the system inserts the expense account it copies from the following source, based on the option selected in the Use Intercompany Expense Account From box on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form:
    • If Vendor Location is selected, the expense account specified in the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Vendor Locations (AP303010) form for the vendor location selected in the Summary area of the current form.
    • If Inventory Item is selected, the expense account specified in the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Non-Stock Items (IN202000) form for the non-stock item selected in the line.

    For a line of an intercompany purchase order with no item specified, the system always inserts the expense account copied from the Expense Account box on the GL Accounts tab of the Vendor Locations (AP303010) form for the vendor location selected in the Summary area of the current form.

Description The description of the account used.
Sub.

The subaccount used to record the purchased non-stock item, which the system determines as follows:

  • For a non-stock item that does not require receipt (an item with the Service line type), this is the subaccount that is generated in accordance with the rule defined in the Combine Expense Sub. From box of the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form.
  • For a non-stock item that requires receipt (an item with the Non-Stock Item line type), this is the subaccount that is generated in accordance with the rule specified in the Combine Expense Sub. From box on the Accounts Payable Preferences form.

    If the subaccount mask associated with the non-stock item—that is, I— is selected in the Combine Expense Sub. From box on the Accounts Payable Preferences form, the subaccount is generated according to the rule which is specified in the Use COGS / Expense Account From box on the Posting Classes form for the posting class of the non-stock item.

  • For a line with a stock item (an item with the Goods for IN line type), the column is empty.
  • For a line of a project drop-ship purchase order, this is the account defined by the value specified for the project in the Combine Expense Sub. From box on the Defaults tab of the Projects (PM301000) form.
  • If the vendor specified in the purchase order is the supplied-by vendor, the system uses the subaccount of the pay-to vendor as the value for the segment in which L is specified (which in this case indicates the subaccount associated with the vendor location) in the combined subaccount mask. For more information about relations between supplied-by and pay-to vendors, see Managing Vendor Relations.
Accrual Account

The accrual account to record the item amount on the purchase order; this account is used for stock items and non-stock items for which a receipt is required.

The account selected in this box should be configured as a control account for the purchase orders subledger. That is, for this account, PO should be selected in the Control Account Module column on the Chart of Accounts (GL202500) form. For more information on control accounts, see Control Accounts: General Information.

Accrual Sub. The subaccount used to record the item amount on the purchase order; this subaccount is used for stock items and non-stock items for which a receipt is required.
Project

Sales Order Line Nbr. The number of the sales order line to which the purchase order line is linked. This is the number displayed in the Line Nbr. column of the Details tab of the Sales Orders.

The system automatically specifies this number when you create a drop-ship purchase for a sales order or a sales order for a drop-ship purchase order.

SO Linked A check box that indicates whether this line of the drop-ship purchase order has an active link to a line of the sales order. The system selects this check box (and thus considers the link active) when you create a drop-ship purchase order for the sales order.

When a line of a drop-ship purchase order is linked to a line of a sales order—that is, the SO Linked check box is selected—you cannot change the details of this line.

Table 12. Ship To Section
Element Description
Shipping Destination Type

The type of the shipping destination, which is one of the following options: Branch (meaning a branch of your company), Customer, Project Site, Vendor, and Warehouse.

For a newly created purchase order, the system inserts the shipping destination type by using the following rules:

  • If you have not specified a vendor yet in the Vendor box in the Summary area, the system inserts the Branch destination type and copies the values specified for the current branch in the Delivery Address section on the Delivery Settings tab of the Branches (CS102000) form to the Ship-To Address section on the Shipping tab of the current form.
  • If you have specified a vendor in the Vendor box in the Summary area, and the Default Branch box in the Other Settings section on the General tab of the Vendor Locations (AP303010) form has a value for the vendor's location while the Warehouse box on the Purchase Settings tab of the same form is empty, the system inserts the Branch destination type and copies the values specified for default branch of the vendor's location in the Delivery Address section on the Delivery Settings tab of the Branches form to the Ship-To Address section on the Shipping tab of the current form.
  • If you create a purchase order with the Normal, Blanket, or Standard type, and the default shipping warehouse is specified for the vendor in the Warehouse box on the Purchase Settings tab of the Vendors (AP303000) form or for a vendor's location in the Warehouse box on the Purchase Settings tab of the Vendor Locations form, the system inserts the Warehouse destination type and copies the values specified for this warehouse in the Address section on the Address tab of the Warehouses (IN204000) form to the Ship-To Address section on the Shipping tab of the current form.
  • If you create a purchase order of the Normal or Blanket type on the Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) form, the system inserts the default shipping destination type for purchase orders, which is specified in the Default Ship. Dest. Type box on the Purchase Orders Preferences (PO101000) form.
  • If you create a drop-ship purchase order on the current form or on the Create Purchase Orders form, the system inserts the Customer destination type.
  • If you create a purchase order with the Project Drop-Ship type and specify a project in the Summary area, the system inserts the Project Site destination type.

    When the Project Drop-Ship shipping destination type is specified, the system copies the values of the Bill-To and Project Address sections on the Addresses tab of the Projects (PM301000) form from the selected project to the Ship-To Contact and Ship-To Address sections on the Shipping tab of the current form.

  • In any other case, the system inserts the Branch destination type.

The shipping destination type of the purchase order can be changed to Vendor only manually on the Shipping tab of the Purchase Orders form.

Ship To

The particular destination of the selected type. The value of this box depends on the value specified in the Shipping Destination Type box as follows:

  • For Branch, the box displays the branch that is selected in the Company and Branch Selection menu in the Info area.
    Attention: You cannot select another branch in this box. If you have access to multiple branches, you can select the required branch in the Company and Branch Selection menu.
  • For Customer, you can select a customer from the list.
  • For Vendor, you can select a vendor from the list.

The box is displayed only if Branch, Customer, or Vendor is selected in the Shipping Destination Type box.

The list of values may be limited based on roles assigned to the user account to which you are signed in if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
