Assign PO

What can I do in this subtask?

Use this subtask to access requisition lines and assign purchase order numbers.

This subtask displays the Ready for PO checkbox. Until you select this checkbox, the requisition line item will remain in a "wait" state and cannot be generated into a purchase order. After you select this checkbox, an internal flag is set, indicating that a purchase order can be created.

Additionally, if you selected the System radio button in the PO Numbering Method group box of the Purchasing Settings screen (Administration\Configure\Materials), you must also select the Auto-Assign PO checkbox to systematically assign purchase order numbers.

This subtask also displays the Exchange Rates subtask, which allows you to view the transaction and functional currency associated with the requisition.
