OPEN PENDING POs

Use this screen to fully open purchase orders that have been saved as pending orders. You will be able to query pending purchase orders, review them, and change their status to "Open," making them eligible to have receipts and/or invoices entered against them. You must make all other purchase order status changes in the Enter POs screen.

This screen can be used by organizations that require formal purchase order approval by a quality control person or a purchasing supervisor, before the purchase orders can be received or invoiced against.

Use this screen after pending purchase orders have been entered.

If the purchase order's vendor has an Approval Code of "Not Approved" or "Pending," or if it is flagged as a payroll vendor, you cannot open the purchase order.
