PO Register Report

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to print purchase orders.

This screen is similar to the Print Purchase Orders screen (Materials\Transactions\Purchase Orders).  However, this application provides detail specific to the purchase order history, and allows you to view and/or print the purchase order, release number, order date, vendor name, and purchase order status.

After you have entered your selection criteria, you can select the Preview Default Report icon to print a copy of the purchase order register to your screen, thereby allowing you to review the data to ensure its accuracy and verify the content based on your selection criteria. You can select the Print Default Report icon to send the data to a printer.

When should I use this screen?

You can use this screen to print purchase orders, as needed.

Field Descriptions

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. Once 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. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. You should 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 produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
