Features and functionality

These features are available:

Searches

From the Vendor prompt you have these search options:

F2 - Vendor search

When searching vendors, click By Ship-From to display the Vendor by Ship-from.

F3 – Standard order search for vendors with standard buys on file.

These Sort By options, S-Standard buy search and F-First standard buy search, allow you to display all standard buys on file or only the first standard buy for each vendor having a standard buy on file. You can use the filter options to specify a vendor to display only that specific vendor's standard buys on file (for all ship-froms).

Using F3, and making a selection, automatically populates the Ship-from prompt and the lines on file for that vendor and ship-from.

From the Ship-from prompt you can select F1 - for “SAME” ship-froms. You have these search options:

F2 - Search for all ship-froms for the selected vendor

F3 - for the ship-froms having standard buys on file

Copy To

The Copy To feature allows you to create standard buys lines within the standard buy file, based on the lines shown by vendor and ship-from. You can copy standard buy lines to another standard buy. See Copying standard buys.

Remove From

The Remove From feature allows you to delete standard buy lines within the standard buy file, based on the lines shown by vendor and ship-from. You can delete standard buy lines from other standard buys by vendor, ship-from or all ship-froms. You can broaden deletion process by ignoring the item quantity and /or UM for the selected standard buy line. For example, if you wanted to remove item I100 from every standard buy on record, you could check the Ignore Quantity and Ignore UM check boxes to remove all matching item numbers regardless of quantity and /or UM.

If you only wanted to remove specific memos, specific quantities, and/or specific UMs, leave these check boxes unselected. By mixing and matching the check box selections you can manage a vast array of values throughout the standard order files. See Removing standard orders.

Deleting all standard buys for a vendor

The File>Delete Document menu option has an additional option to delete all standard buy records for the same vendor. If you select YES-Delete at the Delete the entire document? prompt, you can check the Delete all standard orders for this customer box to remove all standard buy records for this vendor.

On-the-fly standard orders
