Purchase Order Form Columns

The information on a Purchase Order Form is specified primarily in the purchasing template used to generate the form. You do not select columns on a Columns tab in the report Options dialog box. However, you can use options on the General tab of the Options dialog box to override some of the template settings.

Columns

Column	Description
Top Clause	If standard legal clauses have been set up and Print Top Clause is selected either in the purchasing template of on the General tab of the Options dialog box, the clause displays at the top of each form.
To	This part of the form displays the name and address of the vendor.
Ship To	This part of the form displays the full address to which you want the items shipped. The ship-to address can include additional contact information, such as a phone number, fax number, or email address. If you select the Modify Shipping Contact and Email option on the General tab of the Purchasing and Inventory Company Settings form, the Ship To and E-mail fields in both the header and detail lines display modified data when appropriate.
