During normal processing, this field is maintained by the End-of-Period Update program. Press Enter to initially default to 01/01/00, indicating that no update has previously been run.
*3-6. Numbers Used
These numbers keep track of the last number used and as a (non)PO is created or a register is updated, the last number used is incremented by one. Upon installation, these fields should be set to 0. These fields will automatically be updated through normal processing. Press Enter to initially default to 0.
*7. Terminal Running Receipt Register
Specify the 3-character ID of the terminal that is currently running the PO Receipt Register. Specify blanks to indicate that the register is not running.
