Use the Purchase Orders Inquiry menu to view purchase order information by vendor, item and document.
You can access the following programs from the PO Inquiries menu.
Vendor Inquiry, which is used to view purchase order information by the vendor chosen. Information includes open purchase orders, past purchase orders, suggested purchase orders, receipts, vendor notes, items, vendor-item numbers and ship-froms. This inquiry is separate from the AP Vendor Inquiry program.
Document Inquiry, which is used to view purchase order documents in detail by the type and status selected. The type options are: open purchase orders, backorders and noninvoice receipts. The various status codes include: purchase orders entered, but not printed, purchase orders printed, received purchase orders, deleted purchase orders and voided printed purchase orders. Inquiry information includes an overview of the document’s current status, the actual document as it appeared at time of entry (with updated amounts and units) and as purchase orders are line item receivable, each receipt per line may also be displayed.
Items-in-Process Inquiry, which is used to inquire about the status of a purchase order item. This inquiry displays in item order all the purchase orders that contain the selected item. The user chooses the beginning item to view. Information includes item, type, status, order amount, unit of measure, cost and warehouse.
Item Inquiry, which is used to display specific information for items in the Inventory Control Item File. Items may be displayed individually or sequentially. You have the option to display general information, packaging information, warehouse information, open purchase order information, costing information, pricing information, sales history information and item activity information. This inquiry is also found on the inventory control inquiries menu. This is the same Item Inquiry found in the Inventory Control module.
