Expedite Purchase Orders

What can I do in these screens?

Use these screens to expedite purchase orders.

Expediting purchase orders is the means of accelerating or updating the status of the purchase order items. Typically, purchase orders are expedited due to internal demands or sales order requirements.

These screens are driven by delivery date schedules. If you modify the Due Date, purchase order items must then be delivered earlier or later than the original delivery schedule.

This screen displays numerous fields and a Table Window. It also displays four subtasks which can be used as follows:

You can access records by entering information in the screen header and selecting the Execute icon on the menu bar. Using your selection criteria, the system will retrieve related purchase orders and display the record information in the table window.

When should I use these screens?

Use these screens to view and/or update dates and other purchase order information in order to expedite processing, as needed.
