Viewing/Entering Notes from Purchase Order Entry Programs

You can view and/or enter Purchase Order document header or line notes, item notes or vendor notes from Purchase Order entry programs:

PO Entry (POE120)

PO Receipt Entry (POE210)

Non-PO Receipt Entry (POE220)

Invoice Receipt Entry (POE310)

From the View menu of the Purchase Order entry programs, you can select View-->Vendor Notes, Item Notes or Purchase Order Header Notes, or Purchase Order Line Notes. When you select to view notes, the system displays the Notes Display or Note Entry (SME710) screen depending on your user permissions about notes.

For vendors or items with multiple notes, highlight the note line in the browser and press Enter to display the View Note or Note Entry screen (depending on your user permissions about notes). Refer to the Notes Security for Customer/Item/Vendor Notes for user permission details about notes.

When creating or editing documents and lines, the system automatically displays urgent notes for vendors and items in the Important Notes on File (SMI710) screen based on your settings in PO Entry Options F/M (POF915).

This screen displays a listing of all urgent notes, by note type and category, for the specified vendor or item. Double click a note in the browser to display the View Note screen, which lists the note subject and text, note type, category, date created, and date edited. Depending on your security settings for notes, the system displays the Note Entry (SME710) screen which allows you to enter or modify information for notes. For detailed information on notes processing, refer to the Note Entry (SME710) topic.

You can also access notes directly from the main screen of Purchase Order Entry programs that use the 3-Level Entry Driver. The programs include: PO Entry (POE120), PO Receipt Entry (POE210), and Non-PO Receipt Entry (POE220). On the left side of the line item browser, you can select:

I to access Note Entry (SME710) for the item highlighted in line item browser.

V to access Note Entry (SME710) for the vendor specified in the program.
