PRINT PURCHASE ORDER CHANGE ORDERS
Use this screen to print hard copies of the purchase order (PO) change orders. You can compare a change order to any previous change order and you can print any information that differs. Many of the print options on the Configure Purchase Order Print Options screen that apply to printing purchase orders also apply to printing purchase change orders as well. However purchase change orders display modified, added or deleted lines for a PO, as well as the dollar amount change by line and the PO as a whole. If the purchase order is a Blanket PO or a release of a Blanket PO, this displays in the header of the purchase change order printout.
Be sure to review the print settings (and documentation) on the Configure Purchase Order Print Options screen before printing purchase change orders. Several of the print options available on the Configure Purchase Order Print Options screen are modifiable only on that screen, but not the Print Purchase Order Change Orders screen.
Print purchase order change orders when a hard copy of the change order is required.
The purchase order change order is not part of the Costpoint trail and does not need to be retained. You may, however, find it useful to retain a hard copy of the purchase order change order for your records.
Location
Identification
Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve
a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen
selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related
parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes
more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are
also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of
a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different
way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter
ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters
automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print
options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any.
You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.
Parameter ID
Enter, or click 
to select, a parameter
ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter
ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such
as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.
When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are
stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using
Query.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because
you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.
After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the
defaults.
Description
Enter, or click to select, a parameter
description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
Selection Ranges
Use the fields in this group box to enter the selection criteria for printing the purchase change orders.
Purchase Order
Enter, or click 
to select, the ID of the purchase change order you want to print. The purchase order selected must have had a change order applied against it. PO lines may list parts that have documents attached to them in the Documents subtask of the Manage Parts screen in Costpoint Product Definition. If the Print on Purchase Reports field is Y (Yes) in the Documents subtask for a particular part that is on a PO line, the document ID, revision, type and name print on the PO/purchase change order in the Item/Description section of the printout. The document name and location must be valid and accessible in order for this information to print. To eliminate document information from printing on the PO or PO change order, access the part ID on the Manage Parts screen, select the Documents subtask, enter N (No) in the Print on Purchase Reports field, and save the record.
