PO PRINT OPTIONS

Use this screen to select print parameters and choose default criteria to be printed on purchase orders and purchase change orders (if applicable).

Set up this screen when Costpoint Purchasing is initialized and maintain it whenever purchase order print options need to be modified.

Highlight

This group box indicates whether or not bold, asterisk lines (*****) will be printed around certain text or descriptive labels on the purchase order.

Confirmation and Duplicate

You can optionally classify a purchase order as a confirming order in the Header Information subtask of the Enter POs screen. Confirming purchase orders will display "CONFIRMATION" preceding the line item information and following vendor contact data on the purchase order. If the purchase order has previously been printed, then "DUPLICATE PO" will be printed beneath "CONFIRMATION." Select this checkbox to highlight or print continuous asterisk lines around these words when the purchase order is printed. If you do not select this checkbox, the words will be printed without the asterisk lines.

Standard Text

Select this checkbox to highlight or print continuous asterisk lines around the Standard Text when the text is printed on the purchase order. Standard Text is optionally printed at the top or the bottom of the purchase order. If you do not select this checkbox, the Standard Text will be printed without the asterisk lines.

Defaults

This group box displays default values for printing purchase orders. The chosen values for these fields are defaulted to the Print POs function and can be changed there as necessary.

Format

Use the drop-down box to select the desired format in which to print the purchase orders.

Include P/A/O Breakdown

Select this checkbox to include the project, account, and organization distribution for each purchase order line as specified in the Enter POs screen when the purchase order is printed.

If you do not select this checkbox, the project, account, and organization information will not be printed.

Prime Contract No

Select this checkbox to have the Prime Contract Number, assigned to the project that is charged on the purchase order line, print on the purchase order. The Prime Contract Number will always print if a DPAS Purchasing Rating has been entered for that particular project. The DPAS rating is assigned to a project in the Government Contract Info screen in Costpoint Project Setup. If you do not select this checkbox, the Prime Contract Number will not print.

Tax Exempt Certificate No

Sales and use tax, or exemption from sales tax, is specified for an item when the purchase order is entered.

You enter sales tax codes and tax exempt certificate number in the Maintain Sales/Value Added Tax screen in Costpoint System Administration. Select this checkbox to have the tax exempt certificate number print on the purchase order for applicable line items. If you do not select this checkbox, the tax exempt certificate number will not print.

FAR Clause Message for Priority Projects

You can designate projects with a DPAS Purchasing Rating in the Government Contract Info screen in Costpoint Project Setup. Select this checkbox to have the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Clause message print on the purchase order when a project with a priority rating is charged on a purchase order line item. The FAR Clause message, "This is a rated order certified for national defense use, and the contractor shall follow all requirements of the Defense Allocations System Regulation (15 CFR Part 700)," will be printed in the header of the order preceding line item information. If you do not select this checkbox, the FAR Clause message will not be printed.
