Enhancements were added to FACTS Purchase Order and Sales Order modules to provide the option to require expiration dates on all quotes, request dates on all sales orders and how to default the request date and promise date on purchase orders. This section covers the changes in the Purchase Orders module.
Purchase Orders Program Enhancements
PO Static Control F/M
On the General tab of PO Static Control FM two new drop boxes were added to specify if a requested date is required on all purchase orders or if a promised date is required on all purchase orders. Selection options for the requested date are Ordered Date and To Be Determined; selection options for the promised date are Requested Date and To Be Determined.
PO Entry
In Purchase Order Entry, a new TBD (to be determined) option is available for both the requested date and the promised date on both the PO header and lines.
PO Print
In PO Print, the requested dates and promised dates print “TBD” if that option is selected.
PO Inquiry
In PO Inquiry and display programs where there are requested dates and promised dates, the programs now display “TBD” if that option was selected.
