MANAGE PURCHASE ORDER HEADER INFORMATION

Use this screen to set up purchase order header information before you create a purchase order. The data from this screen is included in a purchase order when you create the purchase order from a requisition line.

Use this screen before generating new purchase orders from requisitions and requisition lines. For purchase orders that have already been generated, use the Enter POs screen in Costpoint Purchasing to modify header information.

Planned PO

Use this field to enter a purchase order ID to be generated from the requisition or requisition line.

If you selected the Auto-Assign PO check box in the Assign PO subtask of the Apply PO Info to Purchase Requisitions by Line screen, we recommend that you execute a trial run using the Manage Purchase Orders screen in Costpoint Purchasing to find out what the planned purchase order will be.

If you cleared the Auto-Assign PO check box in the Assign PO subtask of the Apply PO Info to Purchase Requisitions by Line screen, enter the purchase order ID that you entered in the Purchase Order field.

Costpoint matches this purchase order ID to the assigned requisition lines when generating purchase orders. This purchase order must not already exist in Costpoint Purchasing.
