Contents of the Print Purchase Orders Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print Purchase Orders screen.

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. After 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. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

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

Selection Ranges

Use the fields in this group box to enter the selection criteria for the purchase orders you want to print. PO lines may list parts that have documents attached to them in the Documents subtask of the Manage Parts screen in Costpoint Product Definition. If the Print on Purchase Reports field is Y (Yes) in the Documents subtask for a particular part that is on a PO line, the document ID, revision, type and name is printed on the PO in the Item/Description section of printout. The document name and location must be valid and accessible in order for this information to print. To eliminate document information from printing on the PO, access the part ID on the Manage Parts screen, select the Documents subtask, enter N (No) in the Print on Purchase Reports field, and save the record.
